Overview

The IM03JR is a high-performance telecom signal relay from TE Connectivity's IM series, featuring a DPDT (2 Form C) contact arrangement in a compact surface-mount package. This monostable relay is designed for precision switching with a 5VDC coil voltage and a low 140mW coil power consumption. Its hermetically sealed construction and J-leg SMT terminals make it suitable for reliable operation in demanding communication and industrial environments.

Why Choose This Part

The relay offers rapid switching with both operate and release times of just 3ms, minimizing signal latency. Its slim 10mm x 6mm J-leg package saves significant PCB real estate, while the hermetic seal ensures long-term contact stability by preventing oxidation. With a switching capacity of up to 2A and low contact resistance of less than 50mOhms at 10mA, it provides efficient power and signal transfer.

Applications

Telecommunication Infrastructure
Used in access and transmission equipment, modems, and optical network terminals for reliable signal routing.
Test and Measurement
Ideal for high-density switching matrices in oscilloscopes and automated test equipment where low contact resistance is required.
Industrial Control Systems
Provides signal isolation and switching in PLC modules and sensor interfaces within an operating range of -40C to 85C.
Medical Electronics
Suitable for portable medical devices requiring small-footprint signal relays with high reliability.

Getting Started

When integrating the IM03JR, ensure the PCB layout accounts for the J-leg footprint to accommodate thermal expansion. Drive the coil with a 5VDC source capable of at least 28mA, and consider a flyback diode to protect sensitive driving electronics from inductive spikes. For high-density applications, maintain adequate spacing to manage thermal dissipation during continuous coil activation.
