Our CII mid-range relays offer critical size and weight savings in aircraft applications by providing efficient power switching in a compact package. Relays vary in size from the compact 5 amp package all the way up to a 50 amp version in a 1 inch cube enclosure. What advantages do CII mid-range relays bring to aircraft applications? Standard, bifilar, and sensitive coils are available with optional diode suppression. There are both non-latching and latching designs. Our CII low signal electromechanical relays are designed and built to perform under some of the most demanding environmental conditions in aerospace applications. Relays are rated from signal level up to 10 amps switching in a variety of package sizes, mounting configurations, and termination options. What makes CII low signal relays ideal for aerospace applications? High-performance devices are generally used in medical, aerospace, military, and harsh/high reliability environments. Industrial relays are typically used in appliance, automotive, computer, and/or consumer products. High-performance products are generally hermetically/environmentally sealed with a metal housing.

Industrial products are typically plastic-cased and unsealed. High-performance products ( CII, HARTMAN, and Kilovac) will be generally screened to a MIL or custom baseline test procedure, or qualified to M6106, M83726, or M83536. Q: How do TE industrial relays compare to high-performance relays?Ī: Industrial products ( Potter & Brumfield, Axicom, and Schrack) will typically have a UL or CSA rating. Included in this category are 270Vdc to 70 KVdc devices from a few amps to 1000A. Our Kilovac brand covers high voltage DC hermetically sealed relays and contactors. Included in this category are 1PST to 3PDT environmentally seal devices. Our Hartman portfolio provides both DC and AC contactors ranging from 25A to 1000A. Included in this category are TO-5 style relays, crystal can relays, time delay relays, and MIL-qualified products. Q: What are the differences between TE's CII, Hartman, and Kilovac brands?Ī: Our CII line of products covers DC and AC relays, ranging from signal level to 50A hermetically sealed relays, otherwise known as “mid-range” products. AC and DC contactors are designed to meet the applicable requirements of MILPRF-6106 and/or specific customer specifications. Multiple main contact configurations and auxiliary contact configurations are available. Hermetically sealed enclosures are available for some of the most severe environmental conditions or altitudes above 50,000 feet. Our HARTMAN AC and DC contactors are lightweight and environmentally (gasket) sealed. We offer the technical experience, knowledge, and capability to help customers address demanding requirements. These contactors are available in multiple contact configurations, current/voltage ratings, auxiliary contact configurations, and mounting styles. Our portfolio of high-voltage switching devices also includes lightweight, small, and efficient AC and DC contactors for aerospace commercial and military electrical power systems. Industrial relays are used in production lines, robotics, elevators, control panels, CNC machines, motion control systems, lighting, building systems, solar, HVAC, and an array of safety-critical applications. Once the current is turned off and the iron core is no longer magnetized, the spring-loaded lever returns to a relaxed position and its contacts switch to their prior position.Ī single pole relay is a single circuit contact arrangement that denotes a connection in one position, or another connection to a common state. When the coil is energized, the magnetism generating is steady because the current is continuous. Our DC relay has a single wire coil wound around the iron core to make the electromagnet. Clean room construction, highly controlled processes, tracking and serialization of data, quality audits throughout the manufacturing cycle, along with extensive product testing.

We offer a variety of relay solutions for high reliability and space environments. Our space products begin as relays manufactured to established QPL mil specs, then tailored to the customer’s specific application needs.
