IM-NE801A Small PCB Relay Essential for EV Charger

Pulished on Mar. 20, 2024

In recent years, with the deepening of environmental awareness and the strengthening of policy guidance, the electric vehicle market has ushered in vigorous development. Along with this, related supporting infrastructure such as charging piles have also ushered in broad application prospects. However, as the number of charging vehicles continues to increase, how to ensure the stable operation and safety protection of charging piles has become an immediate problem to be solved.

According to statistics, on average, a fire incident caused by a charging pile occurs every two hours around the world, which undoubtedly poses a huge challenge to the use of charging piles. The reason is that excessive current or under-voltage operation is the main factor causing electrical faults and even fires. Such problems not only affect the stable operation of charging equipment, but also seriously endanger personal and property safety.

In view of the above situation, the power shortage protection mechanism of charging piles is particularly important. The so-called "power shortage protection" means that once the power supply speed exceeds a certain threshold, the charging pile will automatically cut off the power supply to avoid possible damage to equipment or electric vehicles due to insufficient power. In addition, it can also effectively prevent excessive voltage in the circuit.

Current sensor: As a device that automatically detects current, it is often used in engineering inspections. For charging piles, the current sensor can monitor the current value in real time and issue action instructions when an abnormal current is found to start the charging pile's protection program.

In addition to current sensors, there are some other measures that can also achieve power shortage protection for charging pile equipment. For example, electromagnetic relays and overload protectors can effectively prevent damage to charging pile equipment caused by electrical faults such as overload.

Because the size of charging piles is getting smaller and smaller, the space left for electronic components inside is getting smaller and smaller. The size of the relay also needs to be taken into consideration to ensure that it can work properly and meet the space requirements. In order to adapt to smaller and smaller charging piles, we need to compress the volume of control components.


Therefore, limiting the size of the relay is one of the important factors in miniaturizing the charging pile. This also reflects the importance of the relay and its important position in the design of charging piles. At the same time, we need to ensure the quality of the relay, which will affect the later operation and maintenance costs. In order to meet the needs of the market, we need to continuously improve the technical level of our products, including the application of new materials and new technologies, to achieve smaller size and higher performance relays to meet the market demand for miniaturization of charging pile design. IVY Metering IM-NE801A relay has the characteristics of small size, high capacity, low power consumption, pressure resistance, low temperature rise, etc. The product has passed UL certification and complies with IEC 61810-1, IEC 61851-1, IEC 62955 and other certifications.
