Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the primary advantage of a metal sealed relay over a plastic one for aviation?
A1: Metal sealing provides a hermetic barrier against moisture, dust, and corrosive atmospheres, ensuring stable contact performance and insulation resistance in the variable pressure and harsh conditions of aviation and military environments. It is a hallmark of a true High-Reliability Military Metal Relay.
Q2: Can the JRC-200MA be used for both power and signal switching?
A2: Yes. Its design handles resistive power loads up to 1A/28VDC and is specifically tested for reliable low-level (micro-signal) switching, making it versatile for both applications within its ratings.
Q3: How does this relay differ from a standard Automotive Relay or Industrial Power Relay?
A3: While those are robust, the JRC-200MA is built to more extreme specifications: higher cycle life (1 million operations), superior sealing (hermetic metal), wider operating temperature range, and enhanced resistance to shock/vibration as required by military and aviation standards.
Q4: Is the 1,000,000 operational life a minimum guaranteed value?
A4: The 1x10^6 operations rating is the specified electrical life under the defined test conditions (1A, 28VDC resistive). Actual field life can vary based on the specific load, environment, and cycling profile but is designed to meet or exceed this benchmark.
Q5: Do you provide samples for qualification testing?
A5: Yes, qualified OEMs and integrators can request a limited number of samples for evaluation and testing in their specific applications. Please contact our technical sales team to discuss your requirements.
