Relay Automotive Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against manufacturer documentation to ensure correct terminal type and packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier as availability may vary by region. Cross-reference the full part number including any trailing characters to match exact mechanical and electrical specifications required for the design.

Relay Automotive Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a robust SPST-NO switch rated for 30A at 24VDC. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates through-hole PC pins and the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to 85°C range. Consider the 40mA coil current for driver circuit sizing and verify space constraints for the micro relay form factor.

Relay Automotive Part Context

This part belongs to the CIT A17 series of ultra-micro relays designed for high-current automotive and industrial use. The series offers various coil voltages and contact configurations. The A171AS24VDC.96D specifically provides a single pole normally open contact path optimized for durability in vibration-prone environments typical of mobile machinery.

Relay Automotive Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalent parts within the A17 series or other ISO 280 compatible micro relays. Verify that substitute components match the 24VDC coil voltage, 30A contact rating, and SPST-NO configuration. Ensure physical dimensions and pinout compatibility before substitution.
