Fujitsu Components Europe has released the FTR-K2G power relay for appliances that need to disconnect power in a secure way.

The relay has been designed based on the need to comply with IEC 60335-1 for household and similar electrical appliances.

The IEC 60335-1 has been put in place for the protection against hazards such as electrical, mechanical, thermal, fire and radiation of appliances when operated.

The relay has a contact separation of more than 3mm, which provides a safe power switching between the mains power lines and the equipment providing full disconnection.

The insulation distance between coil and contacts with a creepage of greater than 8mm offers reinforced insulation.

The FTR-K2G features a 1 form A contact and is capable of switching 5,000VA with a max switching voltage of 440V AC. The FTR-K2G contact has TV8 inrush capability. The coil voltage ranges from 5V to 100V DC with a dissipation of 1W.
