EA2/EB2
Overview Applications
The KEMET EA2/EB2 miniature signal relays offer a • Electronic switching systems
compact case size in a flat package. Minimal board space • PBX
is consumed with either a through-hole or surface mount • Terminal equipment
configuration. These relays are recognized by UL and CSA, • Telephone systems
while also being compliant with Part 68 of the FCC’s 1,500
V surge capacity.
Benefits
• Low power consumption (< 200 mW)
• Compact and lightweight
• Low magnetic interference
• Breakdown voltage: 1,000 VAC (1,500 VAC surge),
FCC Part 68 compliant
• Tube or embossed tape and reel packaging
• UL recognized (E73266) and CSA certified (LR46266)
• Surface mount and through-hole options

KEMET requires its products to be packaged and shipped on pallets. This is because KEMET’s products are specifically designed to be packed onto pallets during
shipment. If for any reason, the products are removed from pallets by the shipping party and shipped to the end customer, then additional external protection is
required. In this instance, an external box with two carton layers and an upwards orientation sticker must be used by the shipping party, with the empty space filled
with filling material, and afterwards sealing the box. If this packing and packaging guideline is not followed by the shipping party, the shipping party, and not KEMET,
will be held responsible for any packaging, packing and/or product damages upon delivery of the products to the end customer. KEMET hereby disclaims any liability
for damages to the products or otherwise that have been, or threaten to be, inflicted, result from or are in any way related to the packaging, packing or damage by the
shipping party in contravention of the packing and packaging guidelines herein.
