Hi all,

What exactly is an LZ-12 relay? or more importantly..... What is the definition of the LZ-12?

I can't seem to find it anywhere....

 
No idea!

A quick google search found some level transmitters/switches.

Please provide a bit more information and some context for this "LZ-12" and we may be able to help you.

Well, the entire security industry here uses it for their circuits. I've attached a data sheet on one manufacturer's " LZ12" relay....but I still have no idea why the entire industry refers to it as an LZ 12...

hi,
Is this any help.

**broken link removed**

Where in SA are you?
 
The data sheet which Eric shows in his link is significantly different from that shown in the link from the OP.

This sounds to me like a case of "industry speak" where the article referred to has drifted away from the original definition.

GoodDay Jim,
I think that the OP's link is not a LZ type??
The closest I could come, was the LZ series is said to be Pb free.

Is LZ == Lead Zero....

Regards
 
hmmm.....i will confirm on monday if the data sheet i supplied is the correct one....
but I do suspect that it might be "Industry speak" as well...altho I havent been in this industry for that long either lol

I must confess that relays is one of my weak points
 
OK....hope everyone had a good weekend...

spoke to one of our engineers and he said that Fujitsu first came out with this type of relay and called it the LZ12. Everyone that came out with a relay afterwards of the same type just copied that name....

"industry speak"

dang! I was hoping for a more complex explanation. It just shows, sometimes the answers aren't complicated and we look for the more complex solutions first....much like component level fault finding.
