The APAN3112 is a slim power relay manufactured by Panasonic Industry and belongs to the PA-N relay series. Featuring a 12V DC rated coil voltage and a 5A contact rating, this compact electromechanical relay is designed for reliable switching in industrial control systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and interface equipment.
The relay uses a 1 Form A (SPST-NO) normally open contact configuration with bifurcated contacts. Its contact material combines silver-nickel alloy (AgNi) and gold, providing reliable electrical contact performance for compatible switching applications. The initial contact resistance is specified at a maximum of 30mΩ.
The APAN3112 supports resistive loads rated at 5A, 250V AC or 5A, 30V DC. Its maximum switching voltage is 250V AC or 110V DC under the specified 0.4A condition. Actual switching capability depends on the load type and operating conditions, and the manufacturer’s ratings should be followed during circuit design.
The 12V DC coil has a nominal resistance of 1,309Ω and a rated power consumption of 110mW. At 20°C, the initial operate voltage is specified at a maximum of 70% of the rated coil voltage, while the release voltage is specified at a minimum of 5% of the rated voltage.
Designed with a sealed, slim-profile structure, the APAN3112 supports space-efficient PCB layouts. It provides a dielectric strength of 3,000Vrms between the coil and contacts and complies with IEC 61010 reinforced insulation requirements.
With a maximum operate time of 10ms and a maximum release time of 5ms under specified conditions, the relay is suitable for general-purpose control and switching applications. Its PCB through-hole terminals support conventional circuit board assembly, and its tube packaging is suitable for organized component handling during manufacturing.
