Smallest motion sensor sensitivity can be adjusted
Claimed to be the world's smallest PIR (passive infrared) sensor, the MP Motion Sensor is now available in an analogue output model that enables sensitivity to be adjusted.
The GK relays are exclusively available in an SMD (Surface Mount Device) package for ease of assembly.
Considering its diminutive size, the GK offers formidable surge-withstand characteristics of 2500VRMS contact to coil.
With a contact rating of 300mA at 30VDC the relay is only intended for signal routing while mounted in high-density applications.
This high-density mounting has been possible thanks to a highly efficient magnetic circuit design keeping magnetic flux leakage to a minimum.
The coil consumption is only 110mW for the mono-stable and the GK is also available in a latching coil configuration with momentary power consumption of just 85mW.
The GK relay is available in a choice of operating voltages from 1.5V to 12VDC in all the usual increments.
The relay is suitable for use in ambient temperatures ranging from -40 to +85 deg C.
The GK is appropriate for applications including measurement equipment, communication equipment and also telephone exchange and transmission equipment.
