Overview

The IM03TS is a high-performance telecom relay from TE Connectivity's Potter & Brumfield line, featuring a DPDT (2 Form C) contact arrangement in a compact 10x6mm footprint. This monostable, non-latching relay operates on a 5VDC coil and is designed for high-density PCB applications requiring minimal board space and a low profile of 5.65mm. It is hermetically sealed and provides high dielectric strength, capable of withstanding up to 2500Vrms between the coil and contacts.

Why Choose This Part

The relay offers exceptional reliability with a high mechanical shock resistance of up to 50g and fast switching speeds with 3ms operate and release times. Its ultra-slim design occupies only 60mm2 of board space, while the 2500Vrms surge capability ensures robust isolation between open contacts and the coil-to-contact interface.

Applications

Telecommunication Systems
Ideal for switching signals in access and transmission equipment, including modems and optical network terminals.
Test and Measurement
Used in automated test equipment and instrumentation where high dielectric strength and compact switching are required.
Industrial Control
Suitable for signal routing in PLC modules and industrial automation interfaces where space is limited.
Medical Equipment
Provides reliable signal isolation in diagnostic and monitoring devices requiring small-form-factor components.

Getting Started

To integrate this relay, ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 8-pin through-hole footprint and include a flyback diode across the coil to protect driving circuitry from inductive spikes. During prototyping, standard 2.54mm pitch breadboards may not match the slim-line pinout, so a custom breakout or dedicated PCB footprint is recommended for testing the 28mA coil current requirements.
