TIPS AND TRICKS

WHY GOLD CONTACTS MATTER?

Did you know that our RQ41 standard relays has gold flashed contacts?

Gold flashed contacts (0.2, 0.3 µAu) assure the best switching with low loads and preserve the contacts of oxidation, for example, when the relay is storage.
The purpose of the protection is to extend the expected life of the contacts and its reliability under unfavourable weather conditions.

We are able to manufacture under request Gold Plated (2, 3 and 10 µAu) contacts our entire standard relays series.

RelayGo also offers the possibility to use Gold Plated Twin Contacts in all RM, RQ and RF series.

Twin contacts increase the assurance of low loads switching from 1mA@5V up to 5A.
We always recommend use Twin Contacts to guaranty the correct reliability of the contacts for electronic controls than need low loads currents.
This feature guarantees the decrease of the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) up to levels of full reliability.

If your application needs a current higher than ≈ 2A, we recommend our clients to chose a different type of relay.

DID YOU KNOW SOME RELAYS HAVE SUPERPOWERS?

The distance between contacts (known as gap) and its speed of opening, significantly influence the length and duration of the arc electric, which is responsible for the relays premature deterioration.
When we switch DC loads, a GAP 0.5 mm. should be enough to arc extinction in most cases.
However, when we are switching loads that exceed 10 amps or DC high loads; the erosion of contacts, the arc electric, and the loss of insulation between the contacts cause serious damages in the contacts and limit the life and reliability of the relays.

RelayGo offers several options to solve these problems:

First, we could use different material alloys in the contacts, such as AgSnO2, which reduces erosion of contacts.

Also, we could also increase the distance between contacts (GAP) using or combining:

Furthermore, RelayGo offers the possibility of using materials with unusual resistance, enduring larger temperature to 1000 °C, such as Tungsten.
These relays known as overload relays are made by a leading silver contact the steady stream, while another tungsten is responsible for connecting and disconnecting the load.
This melting point greater help to resist high power spikes and protect the main contacts of the relay.

WHY SHOULD BE THE RELAYS SENSITIVE SOMETIMES?

The sensitive relays are those which have a power coil significantly lower than the standard ones.

From RelayGo we decided to develop a range of special relays with a low coil power (250-500-800 mW) could keep active a relay and also reduce consumption.
These are called sensitive or low signal relays.

The reasons for creating this type of relay are two:

Take out your sensitive side and reduced by 90% your energy consumption.

The smaller is the resistance of an electromechanical circuit, the less energy loss; and therefore greater energy efficiency we achieve.

Our families RM and RQ relays have the option of incorporating sensitive coils and contacts that have minimal contact resistance and high conductivity.
This is perfect choice when we want a minimum consumption for very low power that would not activate a standard relay; managing to reduce consumption by nearly 90%.

We recommend using these relays with electronic equipment that require low signals.

CONVERT YOUR RELAY IN A TIMER

RelayGo’s, the Time Cube, connects any brand of 8 and11-pin relay and socket, transforming standard relays into timer relays.

As our Time Cubes are compatible with our RM2 and RM3 series is it possible to commute until 10 amps per each contact, that means that with an RM3 relay you could commute 10 amps with three different applications.

Installation could not be easier: Remove the relay, insert the Time Cube in the socket and replace the relay.

The Time Cube adds only 25 mm to the overall height of the relay.

One of the multiple advantages to use our Time Cube is that you don't have to replace the whole set, to replace the relay.

This solution is offering you a long-term savings besides other product in the market.

WHAT ABOUT THE COIL?

RelayGo is one of the only ones global manufactures that is able to produce every specific voltage coil to meet our customer needs.
YOU DESIGN, WE MANUFACTURE

How do we make our Coils?

The coils are molded in polybutylene with fiberglass (130 °C).
Enameled wires of Class F specification are used (155 °C).
They are always verified, 100%, considering quality tolerances.

They are wound on automatic precision winding machines, with the number of turns and wire tension accurately regulated and monitored.
Coil resistance is measured at 20° C and is regulated within ± 10% of specified value.

Also, RelayGo relay's can be manufactured with protection circuits, decreasing or blocking coil generated pulses, as well as block line peaks.

Sometimes as a relay is managed by transistors, triacs, etc. it is required to adopt protection measures, peaks might appear in the line, motor switching, electro valves, transformers, capacitors, etc.., on the other hand, as the coil disconnects, inverse voltage peaks appear, and they can create high pulses that are transmitted to other devices connected to the Coil line.

Normally a relay is unaffected by these pulses, but if a diode is connected in association with the coil, it must be capable of withstanding an inverse voltage higher than those of the incoming peaks.

Smart Relay Simple Life.

All our circuits are inserted inside the relay; you don't have to buy additional components, as external modules to install in the socket.
All in One solution.
