Relays are electrically operated and remotely controlled switches with contacts that open or close for the desired switching function. Panasonic signal relays have switching capacities up to 2A and typically support signal frequencies up to 100MHz. Their characteristics include a compact, epoxy sealed, waterproof structure that is compatible with industry standard lead-free assembling processes. Signal relays have standard gold clad contact surfaces and provide stable contact resistance in applications such as precision test equipment. High dielectric strength and FCC and Bellcore standards compliance meet telecom requirements. Latching versions are available for low power consumption and energy saving requirements. Panasonic signal relays feature high contact reliability (electrical/mechanical operating life) and excellent shock and vibration resistance.
