AZ977-1C-12DE

Relay Automotive Overview

The AZ977-1C-12DE is a 20 Amp Micro-ISO automotive relay manufactured by American Zettler. It features a single Form C (SPDT) contact configuration and operates with a 12VDC coil. The device utilizes a plug-in termination style suitable for through-hole mounting. Key electrical parameters include a maximum switching voltage of 150VDC, a must-operate voltage of 7.2VDC, and a release time of 7 ms. This component is designed for compact applications requiring high current switching capability within the Micro-ISO form factor.

Relay Automotive Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'DE' aligns with the required termination and compliance specifications for your assembly. Confirm that the 12VDC coil voltage matches the control circuit requirements. Ensure the 20A current rating is sufficient for the load being switched. Check that the Micro-ISO package dimensions fit the designated PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Relay Automotive Selection Notes

Select this model when a 20A capacity is required in a Micro-ISO package. The SPDT contact type provides flexibility for normally open or normally closed configurations. Consider the 150VDC maximum switching voltage limit for the intended load. Verify compatibility with 12VDC control signals and ensure the 7ms release time meets system timing requirements.

Relay Automotive Part Context

This part belongs to the AZ977 series of Micro-ISO automotive relays from American Zettler. The series offers various contact configurations and coil voltages. The AZ977-1C-12DE specifically denotes the 12VDC coil variant with a Form C contact. Other variants in the family may differ in ampere rating or contact form.

Relay Automotive Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other AZ977 series parts such as AZ977-1C-12DSE for potential lead-free or RoHS compliant alternatives. Verify mechanical pinout compatibility before substituting with different manufacturers' Micro-ISO relays.
