The EA2 series miniature signal relay has a reduced package size and power consumption to other NEC Conventional relays. Furthermore, it complies with 1500 V surge-voltage requirement of FCC part 68 by the unique structure and the efficient magnetic circuit.
The EA2 series miniature signal relays are compact, lightweight devices with reduced power consumption compared to conventional NEC relays. They meet FCC Part 68 surge‑voltage requirements (1500 V) and are UL recognized and CSA certified. The datasheet provides detailed mechanical dimensions, pin configurations, and safety ratings for various coil voltage options.
Key performance data include a breakdown voltage of 1000 Vac (1500 V surge), contact ratings of 1 A switching current and 2 A carrying current, operating power as low as 56 mW (single‑coil latch, 24 V), and an operate time of about 2 ms. Environmental limits are –40 °C to 85 °C and the relay weighs approximately 1.5 g. Application guidance covers coil wiring, soldering temperature, and cleaning recommendations.
