Many relays have that printed on them. Or you can look the relay ratings up at digikey... But like Forrest said, that says nothing about the interconnected PCB traces and connectors. From: Erich Kaiser Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2015 6:36 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] Site Monitor 4

For DC: From 0-30V: 2 Amps. Above 30V: 60 Watts. (If you need amps above 30v, divide 60 by your voltage: For example, at 60V, it's 1A). I'm not going to tell you how much the maximum relay voltage is at DC since I don't want to encourage you putting that much voltage through this device, and

If it's a new-ish unit (RevH) with the black relays, Forrest said they are safe for ~60W @ ~48VDC. So if you're asking about running AF power through them, yes. Trango licensed, no way. The older orange Omron relays could do about half the power, so be careful with those. I still have quite a

Depends on the load. There is also a solid state relay module coming which will do several amps @ +-48VDC. It's very close. -forrest On Tue, Mar 10, 2015 at 7:15 PM, Erich Kaiser er...@northcentraltower.com wrote: So this could be an option to switch -48vdc on and off without a problem?

The older orange ones *may* be ok for the same rating. The datasheet from NEC on the orange relays is inconsistent. In the printed specs it says exactly the same thing as the new relay - 2A or 60W whichever is less. However, in the chart section of the datasheet, the graph shows a 1A maximum
