Overview

The Panasonic TQ2-L2-12V is a DPDT (2 Form C) latching dual coil telecom relay, specifically designed for applications requiring 12VDC coil operation. This through-hole mounted relay offers reliable switching with a fast operate and release time of 3ms, making it suitable for high-speed signal routing.

Why Choose This Part

This relay features a latching dual coil design, which maintains its state without continuous power, reducing energy consumption. The DPDT contact form allows for versatile switching configurations, and the silver/gold contact material ensures excellent contact reliability for low-level signals. Its fast 3ms operate and release times enable quick signal switching.

Applications

Telecommunication Equipment
Ideal for switching low-level signals in telecommunications infrastructure, including line cards and data routing.
Test and Measurement Systems
Used in automated test equipment (ATE) and other measurement instruments for precise signal path selection.
Security Systems
Applicable in security and access control systems for reliable latching switch operations.
Industrial Control
Suitable for various industrial control applications where low power latching and signal integrity are important.
