PART 21 REPORT - SPECIFIED RELAYS WITH DEGRADED COILS
During the dedication process of nuclear E7000 relays, Tyco Electronics experienced an issue with a component. This component, a coil internal to the relay, failed to operate during quality assurance testing.
Tyco purged this lot of coils from their inventory and also from all "work in process." Tyco was able to account for all the coils in this lot of E7000 relays with serial numbers beginning with 1046. Tyco records indicate that some relays shipped to the Exelon/Quad Cities facility were made using this specific coil lot. Tyco sold this safety-related item for specified and unspecified applications.
