XS8A-0441

Introduction to XS8A-0441 Application Field and Working Principle

XS8A-0441 is a type of latching relay used in the industrial and automotive applications. It is designed with two separate switches and a mechanical latching feature that allows the user to easily and quickly control the output. Additionally, the relay offers a fast switching time of 50ms and a long-term reliability rate of at least 15 years.

Application Field of XS8A-0441

XS8A-0441 relay is mainly used in the following fields:

• Automobile engines, transmissions and air-conditioners
• Home appliances such as microwave ovens, heaters and AC units
• Industrial and commercial equipment
• Security systems
• Camcorders and cameras

The relay can also be used in other areas such as robotics and power transmission. Its long-term reliability makes it ideal for applications where failure of operation is unacceptable, so it can be used for vital equipment with whole system reliability.

Working Principle of XS8A-0441

XS8A-0441 is a two-switch latching relay. A coil is used to magnetize and demagnetize the armature of the relay, and switch contacts are actuated by the movement of the armature.

When the coil is energized, the armature is pulled in and the two single-pole single-throw (SPST) contacts at the output open. When the coil is de-energized, the armature returns to its original position by its own weight and the contacts close. The relay switches between these two positions by alternating the electric current through the coil.

The mechanical latching feature ensures that the relay remains in the same position even after power is lost or cut off completely. This reduces system downtime, extends life expectancy, and gives a longer operation time.

Summary of XS8A-0441

XS8A-0441 is a two-switch latching relay used for controlling output in the industrial and automotive applications. It has two SPST contacts in the output, a fast switching time of 50ms, and a long-term reliability rate of at least 15 years. The mechanical latching feature makes it ideal for applications where failure of operation is unacceptable.
