TQ2-L2-24V
Overview
The TQ2-L2-24V is a high-sensitivity, dual-coil latching signal relay designed for low-level switching applications. This DPDT (2 Form C) relay features a compact through-hole package and is optimized for telecommunications and precision instrumentation where power efficiency is critical. Because it is a latching relay, it maintains its contact state without continuous power, requiring only a brief pulse to set or reset.
Why Choose This Part
The dual-coil latching design allows for minimal energy consumption, as power is only required for 3 ms during switching. Its gold-clad silver contacts provide high contact reliability for low-level signals, while the 24VDC coil operates at a low current of 12.5 mA. The compact footprint and UR/CSA approvals make it a versatile choice for dense PCB layouts in regulated environments.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
When designing with this dual-coil relay, ensure the drive circuit can provide at least 12.5 mA at 24VDC for the 3 ms operate time. Engineers must implement a H-bridge or dual-switch driver to pulse the Set and Reset coils independently. Always include flyback diodes across both coils to protect driving transistors from inductive spikes during de-energization.
