Smaller than relays with electrical wiring, these relays fit in compact devices. Mount them through holes on circuit boards with their solder pin terminals. Use them to control heaters, fans, and other high-power components from a low-power circuit.

For use with equipment that cycles on and off, these relays meet UL 508 for air conditioning and heating. Connections are accessible from the front, so you can mount relays side-by-side. Also known as definite-purpose contactors.

Enclosures (sold separately) are NEMA 1 rated to protect contacts from corrosion.

Also Available: Auxiliary contacts for 3.8"-7.2" Ht. relays. They allow you to add a signaling device or control another relay. Please select 6564K99, then select the McMaster-Carr part number of your relay and whether you want to switch one circuit on (1 Normally Open) or off (1 Normally Closed).

Receive signals from safety monitoring relays or controllers to switch devices off and on because of a system failure. Also known as force-guided or mechanically linked contacts, the interlocking opposing contacts on these relays cannot be open or closed at the same time. To keep your system from receiving false switching signals, the interlocking opposing contact must remain open even if a contact welds closed.

IP20 rated, they have recessed terminals that prevent fingers and other objects from touching live circuits. These relays have been tested to safety standards that can help you achieve your system's PL (performance level) and SIL (safety integrity level). Choose a relay with a PL and SIL rating to meet the needs of your system. Higher ratings indicate greater safety protection. As your system becomes more complex, you generally require a higher safety protection level. Mount them to 35mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 Rail).

Relays that meet SIL3 are tested for applications with a probability of failure of 0.01% to 0.1% and are used for preventing fires, explosions, or toxic releases. Relays that meet CAT 4 withstand circuit surges in electrical applications up to 600V.

When a failure is detected, relays with self-monitoring circuitry signal the controller to remove power and prevent restarting until the issue is resolved.

Relays with nondetachable contacts have auxiliary contacts that won’t separate from the relay if there is shock or vibration. Relays with mirror auxiliary contacts have contacts that are normally closed and cannot be open at the same time as a normally open main contact.

Operate equipment that cycles on and off from your control cabinet. Often called definite-purpose contactors, these relays meet UL 508 for use with air conditioning and heating. Mount them directly to 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 rail) for fast installation. They have recessed terminals that prevent fingers and other objects from touching live circuits. You can wire the control circuit on either side of the relay, which helps you use less wire.

Auxiliary contacts (sold separately) allow you to add a signaling device or control another relay.

Use replacement coils to swap out a broken coil or change the input voltage of a relay. The full load current of the relay must match the full load current range of the coil.
