Views: 638  Author: Fanhar Relay  Time: 2025.08.18

The FH56LG is a high-performance, high-current switching single-contact relay made particularly for heavy-duty industrial use.  Its main benefits are that it can switch 125A of high current, hold low-power pulses, and last for a very long time(100,000 operations) . This makes it perfect for use in severe settings where reliability is very important.

This relay has AgSnO(silver oxide tin) contacts that are very resistant to arcs and welds and meet RoHS environmental regulations. When it comes to telecommunications, train transportation, new energy vehicles, maritime power, and industrial automation, it works well for electronic control systems.

 


Core Advantages

 

High current switching capability, suitable for high-load requirements

Rated load: 125A @ 80VDC / 125A @ 305VAC

Maximum switching capacity: 10,000W (DC) / 38,125VA (AC)

Minimum allowable load: 5VDC 100mA (suitable for low-level signal control)

Energy-saving and environmentally friendly design, requiring only pulse excitation

No continuous power supply required: only a short pulse (200±50ms) is needed to switch and maintain the state, significantly reducing energy consumption.

Low heat generation: The coil temperature rise is smaller than with standard relays, which makes them last longer.

 

High reliability, suitable for harsh environments

Wide temperature operating range: -40°C to +85°C, suitable for extreme temperature environments.

High vibration and shock resistance:

Shock resistance: 98 m/s² (10g)

Vibration resistance: 980 m/s² (100g)

Dust and splash-proof design (Flux Proofed), optional plastic-sealed version available, suitable for harsh environments containing pollutants such as HS, SO, and NO.

 

Fast response, high mechanical life

Actuation time 20 ms, guaranteeing rapid switching and diminished latency.

With a mechanical life of 100,000 cycles and an outstanding electrical life, it is well-suited for applications that need frequent switching.

Compact design, space-saving

Dimensions: 40×22×30mm (L×W×H)

Weight: approximately 80g, suitable for high-density PCB layouts.

Usage Notes


Prior to initial use: It is advisable to administer a rated voltage pulse (5 times the operational duration) to confirm the relay is in the appropriate state.

 Avoid concurrent excitation: The dual-coil variant must not energise both the Setand Resetcoils at the same time.

 PCB layout: Rigorously comply with the approved PCB dimensions (tolerance ±0.1mm) to provide adequate heat dissipation and electrical clearance.

Storage environment: Avoid high temperatures and humidity to prevent contact oxidation.

 

The FH56LG is a high-reliability, high-current, energy-efficient relay designed for use in severe settings such as industrial, transportation, and new energy applications. Its pulse-hold design, extremely long lifespan, and wide temperature range make it perfect for high-load applications.
