April 27, 2021

TE Connectivity, a global provider in connectivity and sensors, has expanded its existing MS27418 relay series with the CII FCC-325 relay, which provides added benefits of auxiliary contacts. The 2A SPDT (single pole double throw) auxiliary contacts can be used to perform additional functions related to the control of the relay allowing for circuit trip feedback status, illuminating an indicator light, and other similar control functions. The CII FCC-325 relay is designed to the performance standards of MIL-PRF-6016 supporting harsh inductive, motor and lamp load applications within the military and commercial aerospace, defense, and marine markets.

“When we designed this relay, we carefully considered the types of environments it has to operate in – environments ranging from 400 Hz aerospace power to 50/60 Hz ground power systems. It was critically important we built the CII FCC-325 to meet and exceed both the challenges and the expectations, while providing the added benefits of auxiliary contacts,” said Randy Biddix, product manager for TE’s Aerospace, Defense and Marine division.

TE’s FCC-325 relay is designed as a non-latching, hermetically sealed relay intended for 25 Amp resistive loads. From launch systems, to navigation systems, and weapons systems as well as naval equipment, TE’s relay can easily integrate with existing computing systems.

RS Offers Banner Engineering’s Extensive Portfolio of Sensor Products for Industrial Applications

RS offers Banner Engineering’s extensive portfolio of sensor products, which spans a wide variety of sensor technologies — including photoelectric, laser, and radar — and can satisfy the needs of almost any industrial automation application. Banner’s photoelectric sensors emit a beam of light that detects the presence or absence of items and targets made of most materials — including shiny, dark, clear, and multicolored ones — as well as changes in surface conditions. When the emitted light is interrupted or reflected by the item, the change in light patterns is measured by a receiver, and the target is recognized.
