Active production signal relay for AC load switching
The AQH1223AX is an active-production SPST-NO (1 Form A) signal relay from the Panasonic AQ-H series, designed for switching AC loads up to 600 mA across a 0 V to 600 V range. Housed in an 8-SMD package with a 7.62 mm body width and gull-wing leads, the relay suits automated pick-and-place assembly and reflow soldering profiles common to industrial control boards.
Load voltage headroom and package fit
The 600 V AC load rating covers mains-voltage switching (120 V, 240 V, 277 V) with substantial margin — the relay can switch a 240 VAC solenoid or valve without requiring an external snubber for normal inductive loads, though the datasheet's recommended suppression should be followed for high-energy coils. Surface-mount termination and the 8-SMD footprint mean the relay shares a common PCB land pattern with other AQ-H series parts — a BOM change from a lower-current variant to this 600 mA version requires no board spin.
