Active2,320 in stock

Overview

The ALZ11B12 is a compact 16A power relay from Panasonic's LZ series, featuring a single-pole double-throw (1 Form C) contact configuration. It is designed with a low-profile 15.7 mm height and provides 12VDC coil operation with flux-resistant sealing. This relay is specifically engineered for high-load switching in environments requiring heat and tracking resistance, meeting EN60335-1 GWT standards.

Why Choose This Part

This relay offers a high 16A switching capacity in a small 28.8mm x 12.5mm footprint, making it ideal for space-constrained PCB designs. It features Class B coil insulation and is rated for operation in temperatures up to 85 degrees Celsius, ensuring reliability in thermally demanding appliance environments.

Applications

Household Appliances
Switching heating elements or motors in washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators.
HVAC Control
Acting as a control interface for fans, compressors, and pumps in climate control systems.
Industrial Equipment
Providing electrical isolation and power switching for automated manufacturing machinery.
Office Automation
Managing power distribution in high-capacity copiers and printing systems.

Getting Started

When integrating this relay, ensure the PCB traces are sized to handle the 16A load and include a flyback diode across the 12VDC coil to protect driving circuitry from inductive spikes. Verify that the 15.7 mm height fits within your enclosure constraints and follow the VDE-compliant layout guidelines for creepage and clearance.
