FCL Unveils Compact, Low-Power 40A Relay
FCL Components America, Inc. has released the market’s smallest, low power 40A, automotive grade, PCB-mounted relay, the FBR53-LE. Because this relay is more than 2 mm lower in height than others in its class, it helps enable more compact designs.
The FBR53-LE is a 1 Form U (Form A with twin contacts) relay that measures 15.7(L) x 12.3(W) x 14(H) mm, with a volume of 2,704 mm3. Its maximum carrying current is 54A for 1 hour, and its maximum inrush current is 200A. It has a contact rating of 14VDC, 40A, and a nominal coil power of 640mW. Its operating temperature ranges from -40C to +125C making it an ideal fit for engine compartments.
The single-pole FBR53-LE can switch heavy loads for fuel and electric vehicle applications including electric power steering, blower/fan motor, starter controller, and infotainment systems.
This plastic sealed type relay is RoHS compliant and uses a silver tin oxide contact material.
