The company states the relay excels in vibration and shock resistance, plus long operation lifetime.
IATF16949 is a quality management system designed to improve the quality of automotive parts by preventing non-conformance and reducing quality variation and waste. By using the FTR-K1-AM manufactured under this standard, automotive device manufacturers can ensure a certain level of quality starting from the component level.
The relay series is usable in ambient temperatures of 105°C and incorporates UL insulation class F insulation materials and UL94V-0 plastic materials.
