TE Connectivity RT2 Series PCB Relay, DPDT, 5V DC, 8A

The TE Connectivity RT2 Series PCB Relay is a dependable and precise switching component designed for direct integration onto printed circuit boards. Featuring a double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) contact configuration, it offers versatile circuit control capabilities, making it suitable for various low-power switching applications in electronic and industrial settings.

Its monostable DC coil is optimised for a 5V DC supply, requiring a coil resistance of 62 ohms. The relay's robust silver nickel contacts are rated for a maximum current of 8A at 250V AC, ensuring reliable performance and long service life in controlling loads such as small motors, solenoids, or indicator circuits. The through-hole terminals provide a secure and stable connection for wave soldering processes, ensuring durable PCB mounting.

Key Features & Applications

• DPDT Configuration: Provides two independent sets of changeover contacts, allowing control of two separate circuits or more complex switching logic from a single signal.
• PCB Mount Design: The compact through-hole package is engineered for efficient and reliable assembly directly onto circuit boards, saving space and simplifying wiring.
• 5V DC Coil: Ideal for use in low-voltage digital logic circuits, microcontrollers, and other 5V systems commonly found in consumer electronics, automotive controls, and industrial automation.
• 8A Switching Capacity: Capable of handling a significant load for its size, suitable for switching auxiliary power, lighting, or small actuators.

With its compact dimensions and proven reliability from the RT2 Series, this relay is an excellent choice for engineers and designers seeking a high-quality, board-level switching solution.
