This latest addition offers 20kV stand-off across the switch contacts – a first-of-its-kind capability that no other relay manufacturer currently offers.
The relay is designed for demanding high-voltage applications, featuring up to 20kV stand-off and 12.5kV switching at a maximum of 50W. Tungsten-plated contacts ensure a long and reliable life, supporting up to 100 million operations when cold switching.
Intended for a variety of high-voltage testing and switching applications, including hi-pot testers, high-end cable testers, electric vehicle (EV) charge point testing, solar energy systems, medical equipment and high voltage instrumentation, the Series 63 is also available with fast lead times of 3-4 weeks for orders of up to 200 pieces, and 5-6 weeks for larger quantities.
The relay offers exceptional performance and flexibility for a wide range of high voltage applications, with key features including compact PCB mounting with push-on HV connections on the top face, supplied with appropriate connectors and insulating boots.
Both Form A (energise-to-make) and Form B (energise-to-break) configurations are available, with 24V coils, and it is usually possible to achieve a Form C (change-over) function by using a Form A and a Form B type together.
An internal mu-metal magnetic screen allows Form A versions to be mounted side by side without interference, and an optional electrostatic screen and/or earth connection to the magnetic screen offers enhanced EMC protection. Maximum switch current is 3 Amps, with maximum carry current of 3.5 Amps.
