January 2006. Fujitsu
Components America, Inc. today announced the release
of a fourth-generation,
ultra-miniature automotive relay for motor
applications. The new relay is a slim device that
is 28% smaller than
its third-generation predecessor, the FTR-P3.
The FTR-G1 is a PCB-mount, 1 form C, single relay that
can handle 25A loads at 14VDC for high in-rush applications
such as power window and gate lifts, automatic sliding
doors, door locks, adjustable seats, and intermittent
wipers. Because the FTR-G1 is used in modules typically
mounted within the passenger compartment, its acoustic
noise level is a low, 60dB (max.).
The relay measures a compact 13.7(L) x 6.6 (W) x 13.5
(H) mm. It features a unique pin layout that contributes
to the relays reduced size while also retaining
sufficient isolation distance for simplified PCB layout.
Coil power is 640mW.
Fujitsu developed an efficient, magnetic circuit to
minimize the relays size, weight, and power
consumption. A highly conductive spring, along with
high-temperature molds and coil wire, increases heat
resistance. A simple, two-piece assembly process requires
no insertion molding to reduce assembly costs and
the introduction of contaminants.
The FTR-G1 is RoHS-compliant and available immediately
from stock. It is priced at $1.80 per device in 10K-piece
quantities. Delivery is 12 weeks ARO.
