Signal Relay Comes With Surface-Mount Or Through-Hole Terminals The 2 Form C FTR-B4 relay measures 10.6 by 5.7 mm, for a total worldwide standard footprint of 60.42 mm2. It comes available with surface-mount (SMT) or through-hole, SMT-compatible terminals, in nominal heights of 9.7 mm (SMT) or 9.3 mm (through-hole). Also, it has contact ratings of 0.5 A at 125 V ac, 1 A at 30 V dc, and 0.3 A at 110 V dc. These ratings allow the relay to meet IEC60950/UL1950/EN60950 standards for basic insulation and high breakdown voltage. Bellcore and FCC part 68 requirements are met as well.The device's surge strength between open contacts is 1500 V ac, and 2500 V ac between coil and contacts. The dielectric strength between open contacts is 1000 V ac (one minute). Available for 1.5- to 12-V dc operation, its maximum switching voltage is 250 V ac/220 V dc. It consumes 140 mW standard and 100 mW latching, and its operating voltage ranges from 75% to 150% of the nominal voltage at 20°C. The ambient operating temperature ranges from −40°C to 85°C.
Available immediately, the FTR-B4 relay costs $2.50 each in 10,000-piece quantities.
