Microchip Technology Inc (Nasdaq: MCHP) has unveiled its BR235 and BR235D series of 25-amp hermetically sealed electromechanical relays, built to meet MIL-PRF-83536 specifications and ISO-9001 standards. These components are purpose-built for high-stakes applications in commercial aviation, defense systems, and space platforms.

Designed for long-term durability and consistent performance, the BR235 series ensures dependable supply and technical backing worldwide. The BR235 and BR235D relays are offered in multiple configurations to accommodate a wide range of application requirements. Users can choose between suppressed and non-suppressed versions, as well as various coil voltage options ranging from 6 to 48 VDC and 115 VAC, providing flexibility for different power systems and design specifications.

For added customization, the relays are available with or without mounting tabs in several orientations. Terminal pin styles include both straight and J-hook types to suit different assembly needs, and customers can select between tin or gold-plated finishes for compatibility with their preferred materials and environmental conditions.

Offering a 25A 3PDT rating, the line provides flexible design choices to meet specific engineering needs. Tested for harsh operational conditions, these relays endure up to 30G vibration and 200G mechanical shock, while operating reliably across a wide temperature range from −70°C to 125°C.

“Our team remains focused on delivering dependable relay solutions that meet the high standards required by the defense and aerospace industries,” said Leon Gross, corporate vice president of the discrete product group. “As other suppliers shift direction, we continue to support critical missions with products designed for long-term reliability.”

With over six decades of experience in the aerospace field, Microchip continues to support the industry with an extensive catalog of components, including microcontrollers, FPGAs, power systems, and timing solutions—each engineered to meet rigorous military and spaceflight standards.
