Aratas Technology for the Small Mobility Market

Our product lineup includes high-power DC relays, sealed micro switches, and innovative custom technology developments to support the transition to battery-powered small mobility solutions. Our components address key challenges faced by engineers, such as reducing power consumption, providing an ultra-compact design for improved functionality, and ensuring safety control of DC loads exposed to vibration and shock.

Aratas' small mobility market includes a range of vehicles such as forklifts, scissor lifts, golf carts, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), lawnmowers, tractors, and e-bikes. As the industry shifts from gas-powered to battery-powered solutions, there is a growing emphasis on improving efficiency, promoting sustainability, and extending the lifespan of these products. Aratas is dedicated to contributing to a better society by providing eco-friendly solutions that enhance industry performance and improve product efficiency.

G9EK Series Relay

Aratas' G9EK series relay is designed to handle large currents and high voltages of up to 500 A, and 400 VDC. It functions similarly to a contactor but is more compact. This relay achieves industry-leading* low power consumption, helping to save energy in customer systems. Additionally, it is resistant to vibrations and impacts comparable to those experienced during a car collision.

G9EJ Series Relay

The G9EJ series relay is compact and lightweight, capable of switching 400V at 15A DC loads. It features improved inrush withstand performance and a long lifespan by incorporating Aratas' proprietary contact driving system to enhance power savings.

D2HW Switch

Aratas' D2HW Sealed Ultra Subminiature Basic Switch is the smallest sealed snap-action switch available in the industry. It features a long stroke that ensures reliable ON/OFF action. Made from environmentally friendly materials, all models are lead-free, including those with molded lead wires. Its compact size also aids in the downsizing of mechanical modules.

D2VW Switch

The D2VW Sealed Miniature Basic Switch Conforms to IP67 (Excluding the terminals on terminal models). The use of epoxy resin assures stable sealing, making this switch ideal for places subject to water spray or excessive dust. V-series internal mechanism assures high precision and durability. The mounting is the same as the V models.
