New versions of fourth-generation telecom relays
Having recently extended its range of polarised two-pole telecom/signal relays, Tyco Electronics now offers one of the broadest and smallest ranges of fourth-generation telecom relays in one package. Benefiting from a low profile (5.65mm) and slim case design (10x6mm), the Axicom IM series relay range now features a highly sensitive version (100mW coil), an ultra-high-sensitivity version (50mW coil), a highly dielectric version (1.5kVrms/2.5kVpulse) and a high-current version (5A). A shielded version is available upon request. All new IM series relays plus the standard version fit on the same pad layout.
Available in four different mounting designs (two through-hole and two surface-mount designs) and as latching (with one coil) and non-latching (with one coil) versions, Axicom IM series relays feature a switching current of 2A/5A, two changeover contacts (two form C/DPDT) and gold-plated, bifurcated contacts. Further technical details include a high surge capability (1.2/50us and 10/700us) meeting Telcordia GR 1089, FCC Part 68 and ITU-T K20, 21, 45 requirements, and a high mechanical shock resistance (up to 50g functional and up to 500g survival). All Axicom IM series relays are hermetically sealed (RT V).
Key applications for Axicom IM series relays are communications equipment, office and business equipment, measurement and control equipment, consumer electronics (set top boxes and HiFi), automotive and medical equipment.
A datasheet is available from relays.tycoelectronics.com/axicom/.
