A61CS24VDC1.3D

Relay Automotive Overview

The A61CS24VDC1.3D is an automotive relay from the CIT Relay and Switch A6 series, designed for through-hole mounting with PC pin termination. It features a non-latching coil operating at 24 VDC with a resistance of 436 Ohms and a current draw of 55 mA. The SPDT (1 Form C) contacts utilize silver tin oxide material to support a maximum switching current of 30 A and a maximum switching voltage of 75 VDC. Key electrical thresholds include a must-operate voltage of 16.8 VDC and a must-release voltage of 2.4 VDC. The device ensures rapid actuation with a 5 ms operate time and a 2 ms release time.

Relay Automotive Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'D' aligns with the required terminal configuration and packaging format for your assembly process. Confirm that the 24 VDC coil voltage matches your system's power supply architecture. Ensure the 30 A contact rating exceeds the peak load requirements of the controlled circuit. Check that the operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C covers the environmental conditions of the intended installation site.

Relay Automotive Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current automotive relay with single pole double throw functionality is required. The 24 VDC coil specification makes it suitable for standard vehicle electrical systems. The SPDT configuration allows for switching between two different circuits or paths. Consider the through-hole PC pin style if PCB mounting via pins is preferred over surface mount alternatives. The Micro 280 compliance indicates suitability for rigorous automotive environments.
