1462042-7

Signal Relays are used to provide a sound connection between electronic devices by switching power off and on in response to an electrical signal. The 1462042-7 Signal Relay is one of the smallest relays available, with a maximum current rating of up to 2 Amps.

The typical application field for the 1462042-7 Signal Relay includes automotive, lighting control, general signal, industrial and medical equipment. These relays are the perfect choice for controlling headlights, door locks, and other applications requiring automation. The 1462042-7 Signal Relay is also suitable for use with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Teensy, or any micro-controller or device that can provide a voltage level signal.

The 1462042-7 Signal Relay operates using an ‘open collector’ principle. This means that the operating voltage is rated at 12 V DC, and that the current is limited to only 2 Amps. When an electrical signal is detected, the contacts inside the relay open to allow power to be switched on or off, accordingly. This allows the user to control the power to the device depending on the signal received.

The 1462042-7 Signal Relay is a highly reliable relay, boasting a typically long life span of up to 100,000 cycles. This means that the relay will work consistently every time the switching signal is received, ensuring that the device connected is supplied with the correct power required. The contacts are also hermetically sealed to ensure maximum reliability, even in extreme environments.

The 1462042-7 Signal Relay is a highly accurate and reliable solution for a variety of applications. It is not only small in size, but also very efficient in operation as it is capable of handling up to 2 Amps of current. The ‘open collector’ principle used ensures that the device is secure and can switch power on or off accordingly. This type of relay is the perfect choice for automation, automotive, lighting control and medical equipment.
