Fit these relays where standard spade-terminal relays are too big. You can connect them three ways. Plug them into a socket (sold separately), connect them with quick-disconnect terminals, or solder wires directly to the terminals. An LED indicator shows you the status of the relay, so you know it’s connected and wired correctly.

Sockets with Screw Terminals—Relay sockets mount directly on 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 rail) for fast installation. You can also mount them to a flat surface using screws.

Delay access to hazardous areas until conditions are safe; use these switches with machines that take time to stop after they are turned off. Mount the switch to the door frame and mount the key to the door so that the key is inserted into the switch when the door is closed. When the door is pulled, the key is held in place with 225 lbs. of force until the switch receives a signal from a time-delay relay, motion sensor, or position sensor (not included) that the machine’s motion has stopped. After the motion has stopped, the key can be removed from the switch, releasing the access door. They’re often used with machine guards. All have positive-force, normally-closed contacts that will open a circuit when the switch is actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. They’re rated for protection from washdowns and temporary submersion.

With a built-in web server, these relays can be remotely controlled over any IP network, including the Internet. They connect to your network either wirelessly or with an Ethernet cable (not included). No programming or software is required to operate these relays. Instead, use your web browser to input the relay’s IP address and the website guides you through simple menus and drop-down lists to set your parameters. Alternatively, you can use these relays with a PLC or without a computer at all if you use one relay as a controller for another relay.

Each circuit has a digital input that can be used to control the relay or a remote relay over the IP network. You could also use the digital input to monitor a separate device, such as a push-button or door alarm switch. These relays can be set to automatically restart network devices, such as computers, even when they fail to respond to relay signals. LED indicators let you know if there’s input and output voltage and if the network is connected and active. All meet at least one safety standard.

Mount these relays on 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 rail) for fast installation. They also mount to flat surfaces.

Use these relays with industrial automation systems, security and emergency lighting, and small motors. They’re also known as power relays. Hardwire them to your circuit using the screw terminals.

Relay Covers—Relay covers protect contacts from dust and dirt.

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.

Sealed for safety, these relays are a good choice for hazardous locations where combustible or corrosive gases may be present.

Sockets with Screw Terminals—Relay sockets mount to 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 rail) or flat surfaces.

For fast installation, mount these relays to 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 rail). They also mount to flat surfaces. With no moving parts, these solid state relays last longer and require less maintenance, are quieter, and switch faster than mechanical relays. They provide a variety of timing functions in one relay.
