Sunnyvale, CA, May 5, 2009 — Fujitsu Components America, Inc. today announced it is developing new electromechanical relays to target Alternative Energy Markets. The company is initially offering two high-voltage, high-current, high-insulation power relays and one low-profile, power latching relay for energy management applications in solar powered systems and smart power meters.

The new high-voltage, high-current, high-insulation power relays can also be used in electronic vehicles and as a replacement for power conductors and power FETs. The new low-profile latching relay is also suitable for various power saving applications.

Available now for the Alternative Energy Market are the following power relays:
