AUTOMOTIVE RELAYS
EP2S/EP1S SERIES
LOW SOUND PRESSURE
DESCRIPTION
The NEC EP2S / EP1S series are PC-board mount type automotive relays suitable for various motor controls
and other applications that require a high level of quality and performance.
The sound pressure level of EP2S / EP1S series is 57 dBA nominal when the relay operates, and 49 dBA
nominal when the relay releases.
FEATURES
™
Less sound pressure (–10 dB at “operate” and –3 dB at “release” compared with EP2 / EP1)
™
For motor and solenoid reversible control
™
High performance and productivity by unique structure
™
Flux tight housing
APPLICATION
™
Power window control
™
Electrical door lock
™
Wiper system
