MEP EP#254: Ridiculous Relay Ratings
Parker
- PinoTaur updates REV 4
- Automotive relays are not certified to run at the voltages we need
- G2RL-1A-E-CV DC12
- Max voltage rating is 300VDC
- “Rated” current is 24VDC at 16A
- G2RG-2A-X DC12
- Looking at other relays used for this purpose in production machines… Am I missing something in choosing the correct relay?
- RGB Light string split into two
- Power current is the reason
- Foxconn Electronics hit by Ransomware
- $34 million ransomware attack
- Stole 100 GB of unencrypted files, and deleted 20-30 TB of backups.
- Bike rack as an inductor?
- Other normal items that could be seen/used as a electrical components

- The FX Dev board returns
- 2 versions of the fx dev board now exist
- ProtoBoard
- Protis 1
- Both look like they ditched my ac power supply for a charge pump design
- Protoboard uses TC1044SCPA
- Charge pump to create a -9V from a +9V
- Not sure what Protis uses but it is likely similar
- FCC was a very big reason why I opted to do this
- Negative Voltage Inverter
- Both opted to not do the integrated soldered breadboard
- This was the reason the FX dev board existed!
- This helped make things very clean
