The Kuhnke 171 relay now has a Song Chuan equivalent which is available with special contacts. The industrial contact material standard of AgNi remains our panel builder product "off the shelf" in the UK. But for high in-rush applications such as lighting, the Song Chuan 888 has identical pin out and contact arrangements but with AgSnO contact material. For low switching there is even a gold plated version. Available to special order with AC or DC coils. Contact The Relay Company for more details.
