For over six decades, we have been at the forefront of designing and manufacturing high-reliability electromechanical power relays, including relays on the Qualified Product List (QPL) that meet the stringent requirements of aerospace applications. Our product line, which features the M83536 and M6106 models, is synonymous with military-grade relay performance; you can be confident that each component can withstand the extreme conditions encountered in aviation and space exploration. We take pride in our hermetically sealed relay designs that offer unparalleled protection for use in both aviation relay systems and military applications where uncompromised quality is nonnegotiable.
Our commitment to excellence is evident in our adherence to the NASA-EEE-INST-002 standards, which govern the reliability and quality of electronic components used in NASA programs. This dedication extends to our state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, including precision drilling hole relay techniques that are essential for creating components that meet the exacting demands of transportation and aerospace industries. By maintaining an ISO 5-compliant environment and leveraging our extensive testing laboratory, we craft relays that provide superior performance in even the most challenging drilling and military operations.
Electromechanical power relays are switches that use low-power signals to control high-power electrical circuits. They consist of an electromagnet, an armature, a spring and a series of electrical contacts. When an electrical current flows through the coil of the electromagnet, it creates a magnetic field that attracts the armature, causing it to move and either make or break a connection with the contacts. This operation allows the relay to control an electrical circuit without the need for direct mechanical action from the user.
Power relays are designed to handle larger amounts of current and voltage than smaller signal relays. They are commonly used in applications where it is necessary to control high-power or high-voltage equipment with a low-power control signal, such as in industrial machinery, automotive systems and large-scale electrical systems. The use of relays allows control circuits to operate safely and with lower energy requirements, isolating the control circuit from the high-power circuit.
