FCL Components FTR-K5 series automotive relays

Extending the Range
With e-mobility on the rise, so is the demand for specially designed components that cater to specific e-mobility needs. One obvious application is the charging of electrical vehicles, which relies on automotive grade relays as on-board gate keepers for increasingly powerful battery packs. Increasingly powerful, since modern e-driving, is all about range and charging times. This is why FCL Components Components recently introduced the FTR-K5 series that, by doubling up on capacity, cuts charging times in half.
 
More Power
The FTR-K5 relay is the second in a range of new EV (electrical vehicles) and PHV (plug-in hybrid vehicles) components that FCL Components Components is currently developing for its e-mobility customers. Among them are manufacturers of e-cars, e-trucks, e-boats, and other heavy-duty e-vehicles. FCL Components’s first automotive grade e-mobility relay for charging applications was the FTR-K1 - a 3.3 kW relay suitable for 16A and 250VAC - which was released in 2017. The new FTR-K5 version extends the range to 6.6 kW or 32A at 250VAC, cutting charging times in half by doubling the load specifications.
