Search By Specification


Performance




   Maximum AC Switching Voltage
 
     This is the maximum AC switching voltage.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Maximum DC Switching Voltage
 
     This is the maximum DC switching voltage.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Dielectric Strength (Isolation Voltage)
 
     The American Standards Association (ASA) defines dielectric strength (isolation voltage) as the maximum potential gradient a material can withstand without rupture.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Maximum Current
 
     This is the maximum continuous current allowable across the relay output terminals under the specified heat dissipation and ambient temperature conditions. Generally, AC current is specified in RMS units. Maximum current is also known as the maximum switching voltage range, or the maximum switching current.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   RF Application Rated
 
     Relays can switch frequencies in the RF range. This may include de-rating from a voltage that can be switched at DC or low frequencies.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
Additional Specs




   Pole Specifications       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Single Pole (SP)
 
     Single pole (SP) relays have a single, moveable lever with a contact at the end.
 
   Double Pole (DP)
 
     Double pole (DP) relays consist of two, single-pole contacts that are concurrently actuated by the same mechanical system and operation. Typically, the first line is hot and the second is neutral.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Throw Specifications       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Single Throw
 
     Single throw (ST) relays have a pair of contacts that are open in one position and closed in the other.
 
   Double Throw
 
     Double throw (DT) relays have three contacts. In one position, the first is in contact with the second, but not the third. In the other relay position, the connection is reversed.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Normally Open (NO)
 
     With normally open (NO) devices, the relay contact pair is open when the coil is not energized.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Normally Closed (NC)
 
     With normally closed (NC) devices, the relay contact pair is closed when the coil is not energized.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Changeover (CO)
 
     Changeover relays typically have one set of Form C contacts and are single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) devices.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Make Time (Operate Time)
 
     Make time (operate time, pick-up time) is the time required from actuation to the full current-carrying state.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
   Break Time (Release Time)
 
     Break time (release time, drop-out time) is the time from deactivation to the open state.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
Coil Ratings




   AC Coil Voltage
 
     This is the AC voltage rating of the relay actuation coil. 
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   DC Coil Voltage
 
     This is the DC voltage rating of the relay actuation coil.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Coil Nominal AC Power
 
     Coil nominal AC power is measured in volt amperes (VA).
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Coil Nominal DC Power
 
     Coil nominal DC power is measured in watts (W).
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Coil Resistance
 
     The resistance of the actuation coil is measured in ohms (Omega: Ohms).
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Mounting




   Mounting       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Bracket (Flange) Mount
 
     The relay is equipped with a flange. Typically, this flange is installed by bolting the unit to a matching flange that is welded to a corresponding wall.
 
   DIN Rail
 
     The relay is equipped with a fastener that can attach to a DIN rail.
 
   Panel
 
     The relay can be mounted in or on a panel.
 
   PC Board
 
     The relay can be mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB).
 
   Socket or Plug-in Style
 
     The relay can be mounted in a socket or on a printed circuit board (PCB).
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted mounting styles.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
General Specifications




   Isolation Method       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Air Insulated
 
     Air is used as the dielectric.
 
   Gas Filled
 
     Devices use a gas mixture as the dielectric.
 
   Reed Relay
 
     Reed relays can switch devices such as solenoids, contactors and starter motors.
 
   Vacuum
 
     Devices use a vacuum as the dielectric.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Features       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Sealed Relay
 
     Relays are sealed to prevent the ingress of contaminants, water, etc.   
 
   Latching Relay
 
     Relays are used for latching applications (e.g., latching limit controllers).
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Environment




   Operating Temperature
 
     This is the full-required range of ambient operating temperature. This represents the surrounding air temperature limits.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
