Automotive Panel Mount High Current Relay, SPST-NO, 12V DC, 130A

The Automotive Panel Mount High Current Relay from TE Connectivity is engineered for robust and demanding power-switching applications in vehicles. This relay features a Single-Pole, Single-Throw, Normally Open (SPST-NO) contact configuration with Silver Tin Oxide (AgSnO) contacts, offering a combination of high electrical conductivity and excellent resistance to welding.

Designed to handle substantial currents, this relay provides a Limiting Continuous Current of 130A at 85°C and an impressive Current Switching Ability of 300A, making it ideal for controlling high-power loads like starter motors, winches, or auxiliary lighting systems. Its construction is heat, moisture, and vibration resistant, ensuring reliable operation in the harsh under-bonnet environment of automotive, marine, or industrial machinery.

Key features and benefits include:

• High-Current Capacity: Capable of switching up to 300A, suitable for the most demanding motor drive and power distribution circuits.
• Superior Environmental Protection: Rated at IP67, the relay is completely dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water, guaranteeing performance in dirty or wet conditions.
• Low Contact Resistance: The AgSnO contact material ensures minimal voltage drop and power loss across the contacts, improving efficiency and reducing heat generation.
• Durable Construction: The sealed and dustproof design, combined with resistance to vibration, provides exceptional long-term reliability for mobile applications.
• Panel Mount Design: Features screw terminals for secure, high-current connections and easy installation onto control panels or enclosures.

With its NOR (Normally Open Relay) circuit operation, it is perfect for applications requiring a switch to close a circuit only when energised. This relay is a cornerstone component for **motor drive control, sensing and power
