AHN22305N

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps

The AHN22305N is a power relay that is a part of the wide array of products offered by Apem. It is a large-current relay rated for currents of 12 and 24 VDC over 2 Amps. The device features an illuminated LED indicator to show when the relay is engaged or released. This feature offers enhanced reliability and safety while being low voltage demands.

The AHN22305N is a split-contact relay, also referred to as a ‘Form C’ contact. This contact configuration has one normally open contact and one normally closed contact, and provides the benefit of switching two external circuits with one action. The AHN22305N is offered in a through-hole version with pins pointing down, making it easy to install and mount on a printed circuit board.

The AHN22305N offers a wide range of application opportunities, from automotive systems to industrial control panels and machine operations. As it is designed for switching high currents, it is often used in applications such as power switching, machine control and automation. It is particularly suitable for automotive applications such as power supplies, activated windscreen wipers and electric windows.

The AHN22305N features a hermetically sealed design. This makes it ideal for harsh environments due to its dirt and moisture-resistant design. The insulation material offers excellent mechanical strength and resistance to environmental hazards. The sealed construction also provides improved safety and flexibility, as the relay components are well protected from outside contaminants.

The AHN22305N has a mechanical lifespan of 500,000 cycles. The contact rating of the relay is rated for a high frequency current rating of more than 0.1 mA at 1 000 Hz. The contact may be operated with a wide range of operating voltages, from 5 to 288 volts AC, and 0.1 to 106 volts DC. The relay contacts can also be opened and closed up to 600 times per minute.

The working principle of the AHN22305N is simple. On the application of power, current passes through the coil and emits a magnetic field. The magnetic field then acts on the armature, which then moves and closes the contacts. When the power is removed, the spring armature of the relay quickly moves back and opens the contacts.

The AHN22305N is a versatile power relay suited for a wide range of applications, from automotive to industrial. It is an excellent choice for applications that require a reliable and cost-effective high-current switching solution. Thanks to its hermetically sealed design and wide range of operating voltages, it is suitable for harsh environments and offers enhanced safety and performance.
