Overview

The EC2-24NU is a miniature signal relay from KEMET designed for low-power switching applications. It features a non-latching double-pole double-throw (DPDT) configuration with a 24V DC coil and is capable of switching up to 2A. This relay is housed in a compact through-hole package with 3.2mm leads, making it ideal for high-density PCB layouts.

Why Choose This Part

This relay offers a compact footprint that saves board space while maintaining high breakdown voltage between contacts and coil. It is characterized by low power consumption and high sensitivity, ensuring stable operation in energy-efficient designs. The non-latching design provides a predictable fail-safe state when power is removed from the coil.

Applications

Telecommunications Equipment
Used for switching signal lines in telephone exchanges and PBX systems due to high reliability.
Test and Measurement Instrumentation
Ideal for signal routing in automated test equipment (ATE) and precision measuring tools.
Medical Electronic Devices
Provides isolated switching for diagnostic equipment requiring low power consumption and high insulation.
Industrial Control Systems
Acts as an interface between low-power logic circuits and higher voltage actuators or sensors.

Getting Started

To integrate this relay, ensure the driving circuit can provide the nominal coil current for a 24V DC supply. It is recommended to use a flyback diode in parallel with the coil to protect driving transistors from inductive spikes. For prototyping, the 2.54mm pitch compatible leads allow for easy mounting on perforated boards or standard PCB footprints.
