Electromechanical relays for PV solar power systems and electric vehicles

Fujitsu has launched three new electromechanical relays for PV solar power systems and such high power switching applications. The two relays are high-voltage, high-current, high-insulation power relay and the other one is a low-profile, power latching relay.

The new high-voltage, high-current, high-insulation power relays can also be used in electric vehicles and as a replacement for power conductors and power FETs (Whenever voltage isolation and perfect switch is required, electromechanical relay is preferred over FET). The new low-profile latching relay is also suitable for various power saving applications.

Specification of these relays are,

1. Relay Series: FTR-J2
