Panasonic Industry — PA-N and PF Series of Relays

The PF and PA-N relays from Panasonic Industry can be used in space-constrained applications without compromising either thermal performance or energy consumption.

The 5 A, 250 V ac/5 A, 30 V dc-rated PA-N relay measures just 20 mm x 12.5 mm x 5 mm. The 6 A, 250 V ac-rated PF relay’s dimensions are 28 mm x 15 mm x 5 mm. Offering the option of bent pins, the PF version can also be mounted horizontally to fit in low-profile designs.

The relays are suitable for use in relay interface modules, extension boards for power relays or programmable logic controllers, in which they provide safe switching and isolation between the signal and load circuits. The PF and PA-N relays can handle a wide variety of load behaviors, including the high inductive loads of valves or motors.

The PF relay, which is manufactured in the EU, is available with either a 1xNO or 1xCO contact.

For harsh, hazardous or potentially explosive environments, the PA-N relay is ATEX-certified to switch currents up to 5 A, and can be operated at temperatures up to 110°C. A low nominal operating power of 110 mW enables high-density mounting.
