AZ976-1A-12DET is a 20 Amp miniature automotive relay featuring a 12VDC coil with Form A (SPST NO) single-pole single-throw normally open contact arrangement. The relay delivers up to 20 Amp switching capability in a compact, epoxy-sealed package with a small footprint, making it ideal for space-constrained automotive applications. Key technical characteristics include a coil resistance of 130 O (±10%), a must-operate voltage of 7.5 VDC, a maximum continuous voltage of 9.0 VDC, and a pickup power of 514 mW at nominal 12VDC coil voltage. The relay exhibits mechanical life expectancy of 1×107 operations and electrical life of 1×105 operations at 12A and 14VDC resistive load, with typical operate and release times of 3 ms and 1.5 ms respectively. Operating temperature range spans -40°C to 115°C, with vibration and shock resistance (0.062" DA at 10–55 Hz and 10g shock for 11 ms), making it well-suited for demanding automotive environments where reliability and high in-rush current handling are critical.
