ALZ12B12
Overview
The ALZ12B12 is a compact power relay from Panasonic's ALZ series designed for high-current switching in a slim package. It features a 12VDC coil and SPDT (1 Form C) contact arrangement capable of handling loads up to 16A. This fully sealed through-hole component is optimized for reliability in environments requiring protection against dust and moisture.
Why Choose This Part
This relay offers a high 16A switching capacity despite its slim profile, allowing for dense PCB layouts. Its fully sealed construction ensures long-term reliability in harsh operating conditions, while its low 33.3 mA coil current makes it suitable for many transistor-driven control circuits.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
When integrating this relay, ensure the use of a flyback diode across the coil terminals to protect the driving circuitry from inductive spikes. Designers should adhere to recommended PCB footprint patterns to maintain proper creepage and clearance distances for the 16A load current.
