Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the max switching current for the R-TECH 616250?

The relay is rated for a maximum switching current of 1A.

Is this relay suitable for SMT assembly?

No, this is a through-hole mounting component and is not designed for Surface Mount Technology (SMT) processes.

Can I use this for high-voltage AC lines?

No, this relay is designed for small signal measurement and control, not for mains voltage or high-power AC switching.

What is the purpose of the sealed construction?

The sealed construction protects the internal contact surfaces from dust, moisture, and flux ingress during the wave soldering process.

Are there other versions of this relay available?

Yes, R-TECH offers the RTRA series in different coil voltages, including 12VDC (616251) and 24VDC (616252) variants.

Troubleshooting

Relay does not click when voltage is applied

Verify the coil voltage is exactly 5V DC and check that the control signal polarity is correct.

Signal does not pass through the contact

Check for continuity between the COM and NC or NO pins when the coil is de-energized or energized, ensuring the PCB traces are not damaged.

Intermittent switching performance

Inspect solder joints for cold joints or bridges that may cause high resistance or shorts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely compact size for high-density circuit boards
  • Reliable signal switching with AuAg contact material
  • Fully sealed housing prevents flux or debris interference
  • Standardized 5V DC voltage for easy integration

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-current or high-voltage power switching
  • Through-hole mounting only, not suitable for SMT processes
  • Limited to low-power signal applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard through-hole soldering techniques. When mounting, ensure the relay is seated flush against the PCB to maintain structural integrity. Avoid excessive heat during the soldering process; although the unit is sealed, rapid temperature fluctuations can stress the internal components. Since the device is a mechanical component, store in a dry, static-free environment prior to use. Always verify your circuit's coil drive capability to ensure the 5V requirement is met without exceeding the coil's rated operating limits.
