[Moon-net] All; THE TRANSCO RELAY, general info.

[Kim Liljekrans]

HI  ALL

To make a general statement abt the Transco Y - relay , vy often used for EME .

A  datasheet is send to, and kindly published on Darrells , VE1ALQ  HP. 


In General each coil is consuming  :  7 W  Each  energized !!

This means the relay will be destroyed, IF NOT mounted on suitable  "heatzink".   
The relaybody needs to be mounted  on some kind of metal plate , at least 4" x  4" , 3mm Aluminium is fine, and suppports the hole system well.

(I DO have destroyed a relay, before the lessen were learned  years back :o((          )
