Industry Application Background

With the development of high-voltage platforms in new energy vehicles, pre-charge circuits and thermal management circuits have increasingly higher requirements for relays:

Pre-charge relay: At the moment of power-up, the pre-charge resistor limits the charging current of the bus capacitor to prevent the main relay contacts from welding due to inrush current. After pre-charging is completed, the main relay closes and the pre-charge relay opens. The FH80NE-40 has 40A continuous current-carrying capability and short-time high-current capability, making it suitable as a control component in pre-charge circuits.

Heating relay: Scenarios such as battery thermal management and PTC heaters in new energy vehicles require high-voltage DC relays to control the on/off of heating circuits. The FH80NE-40's 450VDC rated load, 750VDC maximum switching voltage, and AgSnO₂ contact material can meet the reliable switching requirements of high-voltage heating circuits.

PCB mounting: The product uses a PCB terminal structure, making it easy to integrate into electronic control units such as BMS, PDU, and high-voltage power distribution boxes. It is suitable for automated placement and soldering.

Core Performance and Key Advantages

Strong Load and Switching Capability

The FH80NE-40 has 40A continuous current-carrying capability at 85°C. Its rated load is 40A 450VDC (resistive load), its maximum switching voltage is up to 750VDC, its maximum breaking current is 50A (450VDC, ≥1 operation), and its maximum switching capacity reaches 22500VA.

The FH80NE-40 can not only continuously carry 40A at 85°C, but also withstand higher current surges for short periods: 80A for 60s, 160A for 5s, 240A for 3s, and 400A for 0.6s.

This capability enables it to handle inrush and instantaneous high-current conditions in pre-charge and heating circuits, making it suitable for PCB-mount scenarios in high-voltage DC systems of new energy vehicles.

Fast Response and Long Life

The FH80NE-40 provides fast operation: operate time ≤30ms and release time ≤10ms (at rated voltage), meeting the response speed requirements of high-voltage DC circuits.

In terms of life:

  • Mechanical life: 1×10⁵ ops
  • Electrical life (resistive load):450VDC / 40A: 1×10³ ops,450VDC / 10A: 1×10⁴ ops

During actual selection, life should be evaluated based on load current, voltage, and switching frequency to ensure long-term system operation requirements are met.

Excellent Insulation and Dielectric Withstand Performance

The FH80NE-40 performs reliably in terms of insulation and dielectric withstand:

  • Insulation resistance (initial): 1000MΩ (500VDC)
  • Dielectric strength (initial):Between open contacts: 2000VAC / 1min,Between coil and contacts: 3000VAC / 1min

The product complies with IEC 60664-1 safety requirements and RoHS environmental standards, providing protection for safe isolation and reliable operation of high-voltage DC systems.

Advanced Contact Material and Low Contact Resistance

The FH80NE-40 uses AgSnO₂ (silver tin oxide) contact material, with a 1A normally open contact form. AgSnO₂ offers good conductivity, arc erosion resistance, and environmental friendliness, making it suitable for frequent switching and high-voltage DC control applications.

The initial contact resistance is ≤5mΩ (6VDC 20A), which helps reduce conduction loss and temperature rise, improving system efficiency and reliability.

Coil Specifications and Energy-Efficiency Design

The FH80NE-40 offers five coil voltage options: DC6V, DC9V, DC12V, DC24V, and DC48V, with a rated power of 3W. Detailed parameters are as follows:

Rated Voltage Operate Voltage VDC  Release Voltage VDC Rated Current (±10%) Coil Resistance (±10%) Rated Power  Maximum Voltage (short-time withstand)
DC 6V  ≤4.50  ≥0.30 500mA 12Ω 3W DC 7.2V
DC 9V   ≤6.75 ≥0.45  333.3mA 27Ω DC 10.8V
DC 12V ≤9.00 ≥1.2 250mA 48Ω DC 14.4V
DC 24V  ≤18.00 ≥2.4 125mA 192Ω DC 28.8V
DC 48V  ≤36.00 ≥4.8 62.5mA 768Ω DC 57.6V

Note: To prevent overheating and burnout, the voltage applied to the coil must not exceed the maximum holding voltage for an extended period. The maximum voltage is the highest voltage the relay can withstand for a short period.

Environmental Adaptability and Mechanical Performance

The FH80NE-40 performs well in environmental adaptability and mechanical performance: its operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, and its humidity range is 5% to 85%RH. Its shock resistance is functional 196m/s² (10g) and destructive 490m/s² (100g); its vibration resistance is 10Hz to 500Hz, 49m/s². The product weighs approximately 55g (without accessories), has outline dimensions of 30×29.2×30.1mm, and uses a PCB terminal structure. When wiring, the load side has polarity (1+, 2-), and the coil side has no polarity (5, 6). The recommended copper soldering temperature for the load lead-out terminals is 260°C ± 5°C, with a soldering time of 3–5s.
