TE Connectivity PCB Automotive Relay 12V DC Coil, 40A Switching Current, SPST, Compact, PK2 Series V23201C1001A502

The TE Connectivity V23201C1001A502 is a PCB-mounted automotive relay engineered for high-current switching requirements in vehicles and industrial transport applications. This relay features a compact footprint from the PK2 series, with overall dimensions of 18.3 x 16 x 15.9 mm, making it well-suited for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Operating at a 12V DC coil voltage, the relay is capable of sustaining switching currents up to 40A, ensuring compatibility with heavy-duty automotive electrical loads such as lamps, motor drives, capacitive devices, and heat-sensitive systems.

The relay is configured as Single Pole Single Throw (SPST), providing a straightforward logic design for circuit control. The coil resistance is precisely 176 Ω, and solder terminals allow for reliable installation during PCB assembly, whether by wave or reflow methods.

With a temperature tolerance spanning from -40°C up to a maximum of 125°C, or -40°C to +105°C ambient, the relay is robust enough for harsh environmental conditions, including exposure to vibration and elevated temperatures inside vehicles.

Silver contacts deliver excellent conductivity and longevity, enhancing circuit reliability. The component's monostable PK2 power relay family reputation guarantees performance, even under demanding operational cycles or shock conditions.

This relay is most commonly used for multi-purpose switching in automotive applications, including lamp and motor control, capacitive load switching, and other tasks where stable operation under thermal or mechanical stress is essential.

Construction ensures compatibility with both THT and THR PCB assembly processes, and its compact design supports high-density automotive electronic designs. Terminal type is solder for strong and durable connections.

Given its technical design, the relay is best deployed in industrial, laboratory, automotive manufacturing, and commercial vehicle electronics environments where dependable switching is critical.
