RQ Series

RQ Series — General Purpose Relays

IDEC’s RQ relays are low-profile, PCB relays that provide quality within
a compact package. Size equals value. RQ relays are small, yet maintain
high contact ratings and long operational life. For larger power needs, a
16A model is also available.

Key features of the RQ series include:

• Low profile: 29 x 12.7 x 15 mm

• Contact rating: 8A (DPDT) and 12A (SPDT)

• Power relay model with 16A contact rating (SPDT)

• Operational life:
100K cycles at full resistive load
10 million cycles, no load

• LED/Diode Plug-in modules available with DIN rail socket

• Lead-free
