| Title | Part 21 Notification - Potential Defect in Etr14 Class Te Connectivity Relays |
| Event Description | TE Connectivity reported that one of their relays, TE Part Number 7-1423177-5, ETR141B3BNC2023004, failed at TVA Labs during normal continuously energized operation. An investigation conducted with TVA Labs identified that a mis-oriented capacitor may have caused the failure. Although the failure occurred with only one part number, all relays in the ETR14 family with date codes from 1604 to 1650 contain the suspect capacitor. A root cause analysis is underway by the vendor.
