AZ980-1A-12DR

Relay Automotive Overview

The AZ980-1A-12DR is an 80 Amp automotive relay manufactured by American Zettler. It features a Single Pole Single Throw Normally Open (SPST N.O.) contact arrangement, designated as Form A. The coil operates at a nominal voltage of 12 VDC. The device includes a parallel resistor within the coil circuit and utilizes an epoxy sealed construction for environmental protection. It employs quick connect terminals for interface connectivity.

Relay Automotive Feature Summary

• Epoxy sealed construction for enhanced environmental durability
• Integrated parallel resistor in the coil circuit
• Quick connect terminal interface design

Relay Automotive Applications

• Automotive electrical systems
• High current DC load switching
• Vehicle accessory power control

Relay Automotive Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'DR' corresponds to the inclusion of the parallel resistor and epoxy sealing as documented. Confirm that the 80 Amp rating applies to the intended resistive load conditions. Ensure the 12 VDC coil voltage matches the system supply. Check terminal type compatibility with existing harnesses.

Relay Automotive Selection Notes

Select this component when an 80 Amp switching capacity is required for automotive applications. The SPST N.O. configuration suits simple on/off control tasks. The integrated resistor aids in reducing electromagnetic interference during operation. The epoxy seal provides necessary protection against moisture and contaminants common in vehicle environments.

Relay Automotive Part Context

This part belongs to the AZ980 series of Super-ISO automotive relays from American Zettler. The series is designed for high-current automotive applications. The AZ980-1A-12DR variant specifically denotes the 12 VDC coil version with the DR suffix indicating the resistor and seal configuration.

Relay Automotive Replacement Considerations

The AZ980-1A-12D is a related variant without the specified resistor and seal features. Verify if the additional resistor and epoxy sealing are critical for the application before substituting.
