This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Miniature Relays cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to mechanically operate a switch, but other operating principles are also used, such as solid-state relays. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal (with complete electrical isolation between control and controlled circuits), or where several circuits must be controlled by one signal. The first relays were used in long distance telegraph circuits as amplifiers: they repeated the signal coming in from one circuit and re-transmitted it on another circuit. Relays were used extensively in telephone exchanges and early computers to perform logical operations.
Intelligentization and integration upgrades drive technological transformation.
Solid-state relays (SSR) accelerate substitution: The contactless design increases the lifespan by more than 5 times compared to traditional electromechanical relays. The penetration rate in the new energy vehicle sector will exceed 28% by 2027, and programmable logic relays (PLR) integrate control functions, with the share in industrial scenarios rising to 35%.
Emerging application scenarios explode.
Green energy sector: The temperature rating of relays for photovoltaic inverters has been raised to 125°C, and the shipment volume will reach 820 million units by 2030. The market size of safety protection relays in energy storage systems has a CAGR of 29%.
AI and IoT devices: The annual installation volume of micro relays in smart homes has exceeded 2.4 billion units. Voice control/light control modules have become standard features. The demand for millimeter-wave relays in 5G base stations has surged, and high-frequency characteristics (>40GHz) have become a technical barrier.
Core challenges and breakthrough paths
Material technology bottleneck: The R&D investment for alternative precious metal solutions has increased by 25%, and graphene contacts have entered the pilot stage.
Extreme environmental adaptability: The temperature range of aerospace-grade relays from -65°C to +150°C has become a new industry threshold.
The small relay market is undergoing "solid-state substitution, vehicle-grade upgrade, and energy transition" triple changes. Miniaturization and high-frequency technologies form new growth poles, but controlling precious metal costs and reliability in extreme environments remain key to breakthroughs.
