EE2-5NU
Overview
The EE2-5NU is a miniature signal relay from KEMET designed for high-density surface mount applications. This DPDT (2 Form C) relay features a low profile and a compact footprint of 15mm by 7.5mm, making it ideal for precision switching in space-constrained designs. It operates on a 5VDC coil and offers rapid response times with a 2ms operate time and 1ms release time.
Why Choose This Part
This relay provides excellent reliability with gold-over-silver alloy contacts and has earned UL, CSA, and TUV safety approvals. The surface mount design supports modern automated assembly processes, and its low power consumption of approximately 140mW (28mA at 5VDC) makes it suitable for energy-sensitive electronics.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
When integrating the EE2-5NU, ensure a flyback diode is placed across the coil to protect driving circuitry from inductive spikes. Since this is a non-latching relay, the coil must remain energized to maintain the operated state. Refer to the footprint specifications for the 8-pin surface mount package to ensure proper pad alignment and thermal profile during reflow soldering.
