A171AS24VDC.96R

Relay Automotive Overview

The CIT Relay and Switch A171AS24VDC.96R is an ISO 280 Ultra Micro Relay designed for automotive applications. It features a non-latching coil with a voltage of 24 VDC and a current consumption of 40 mA. The relay utilizes a SPST-NO (1 Form A) contact configuration, supporting a maximum switching current of 20 A and a voltage up to 75 VDC. Electrical parameters include an operate time of 10 ms and a release time of 5 ms. The unit is fully sealed with an integrated resistor and consumes 0.96 W.

Relay Automotive Feature Summary

• Fully sealed construction with integrated resistor for environmental protection
• Non-latching coil mechanism for standard switching operations
• Compact ISO 280 Ultra Micro form factor suitable for space-constrained installations

Relay Automotive Applications

• Automotive circuit control
• Lamp accessory switching
• Moderate-power automotive loads

Relay Automotive Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix .96R corresponds to the required resistor value and coil characteristics. Confirm that the SPST-NO contact form aligns with the target circuit logic. Ensure the 24 VDC coil voltage matches the system supply to prevent operational failure or damage.

Relay Automotive Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, sealed relay is required for 24 VDC automotive systems. The 20 A rating supports moderate power loads, while the ISO 280 footprint ensures compatibility with standard mounting spaces. Consider the 10 ms operate time for timing-sensitive applications.

Relay Automotive Part Context

This model belongs to the CIT A17 series of micro relays, specifically engineered for automotive environments. The A171AS24VDC.96R variant distinguishes itself through its 24 VDC coil specification and sealed design, offering reliability in harsh conditions compared to open-frame alternatives.

Relay Automotive Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series may include variants with different coil voltages such as A171AS12VDC.96R, provided the system voltage is adjusted accordingly. Verify mechanical footprint and pinout compatibility before substitution.
