Dear Valued Customer,

We are contacting you today to let you know there has been a New Relay Qualified on embeddedTS Products. This change will phase in immediately on new production builds and has no impact on functionality, software, or electrical performance of the affected products.

The affected products are: TS-7680, TS-8820, TS-8820-4100, TS-8820-4700, TS-8820-4710, TS-8820-4712, TS-8820-4800, TS-RELAY8

In order to continue supporting a long life cycle on the above products, embeddedTS has qualified a new relay from Omron to replace the previously used device from TE Connectivity, which has reached End-of-Life (EOL) status. The newly qualified relay is electrically equivalent to the original component, including coil voltage, coil power draw, contact configuration, and it offers a higher power rating for the switched contacts.

Customers should be aware of two minor differences. The Underwriters Laboratories (UL) marking on the relay will reflect the Omron registration rather than the previous supplier. Additionally, the new Omron part is slightly taller compared to the current part. While embeddedTS anticipates sufficient clearance in most applications, customers with tight vertical space constraints in their enclosure design are encouraged to contact us to verify details.

This transition is the result of embeddedTS’s continual improvement methodology, in which we strive to deliver the highest quality products and maintain long-term availability for our customers. Some existing inventory may still contain the previous relay until stock is depleted, after which, all shipments will include the newly qualified component.

We at embeddedTS appreciate your business. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact us by either replying to this email or by filling out the "Contact Us" form at support.embeddedts.com.

Best Regards,
