Isolate input and output circuits to prevent damage from voltage spikes, reduce signal interference, and amplify signal. These relays interface between your controller and components—they receive a signal from the controller to switch power on or off to the components. All have an LED indicator that shows you if your switch is actuated, so you know it’s connected and wired correctly. Use them to communicate signals to devices like motors or sensors. Mount them on 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 rail).

Reduce connection errors on circuit boards that control machine guards and other safety devices. Also known as force-guided contact relays, they have contact pairs that won’t close at the same time, even if contacts stick or weld shut. These relays take up less space on a board than those with electrical wiring because their solder pin terminals mount directly through circuit board holes. Use them to control high-power components, such as fans and heaters, from a low-power circuit.

Attach these relays to a flat surface using the mounting hole. They have no moving parts, so compared to mechanical switches, they require less maintenance, last longer, and are quieter.

Delayed start (delay-on-make) relays allow you to set how long it takes for the relay to turn on after input voltage is applied. For example, a drill starts pumping a lubricant immediately, but it does not start rotating until the set time has elapsed.

Delayed switch-off (delay-on-break) relays activate with a switch instead of input voltage. When the switch is turned off, the relay remains on for a programmed amount of time before turning off. For example, a projector’s light is turned off with a switch, but its cooling fan continues to run for a set time.

Interval relays use input voltage to turn on for a programmed amount of time. For example, when a part moving down a conveyor reaches a certain location, a cleaning spray comes on for a set time.

Repeat cycle relays turn on for a duration, then off for the same duration. They alternate between the two cycles until input voltage is removed. A common example would be a flashing light.

Switch-on (single-shot) relays require a switch to activate the relay. They’ll stay on for a programmed amount of time. For example, lights in a storage room are turned on with a switch and stay on for a set time before turning off.
