Using TVS Diode P6KE across relay coil but then also relay coil is getting damaged.

Former Member

We are using TVS diode across 24V DC-100AMPs relay for automotive application but my relay coil is getting damaged.

  • A lot of the cheap versions of these relays are not continuously rated, and will fail in a short time if left energised. They are often for hoist control on recovery trucks etc, where they run for a few minutes only.

    If you are seeing lots of failures, it could be a dodgy batch, or dodgy drive, or incorrect selection. Post a datasheet.

    Are you able to contact the manufacturer? If not, buy from one that has a good presence.
