DIN-Mount Interface Relays have space-conserving design.

Press Release Summary:



Measuring 14 mm wide x 70 mm high, RV8H electromechanical relays typically install between output from PLC or other controller and load to increase switching capacity and protect output from damage. Products can replace 5–10 A general-purpose, plug-in relays. Offered in SPDT (up to 16 A) and DPDT (up to 8 A) models, all versions are available with AC or DC input (ranging from 5 Vdc to 240 Vac). DC input relays are protected from reverse polarity, and DPDT models have gold-plated contacts.

IDEC Releases RV8H Compact Interface Relays



14mm-wide interface relay saves up to 40% of the space required by standard ice-cube relays.



IDEC Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA – IDEC Corporation announces the addition of the 14mm-wide RV8H compact relay family to its existing interface relay line. These electromechanical relays are ideal for panels with limited room as they provide up to a 40% reduction in required DIN rail track space as compared to standard ice-cube relays, and feature the industry’s lowest height requirement as they are only 70mm high.



RV8H relays work particularly well in higher load switching applications, industrial automation panels with high I/O content, and commercial HVAC panels. In these and other applications, an RV8H relay is typically installed between an output from a PLC or other controller and the load to increase switching capacity and protect the output from damage. These relays are rapidly replacing traditional 5 to 10A general purpose plug-in relays due to their smaller size and lower cost.



The 14mm-wide RV8H compact relay family includes SPDT and DPDT models, and the DPDT models are supplied with gold-plated contacts. SPDT models are rated up to 16A and DPDT models are rated up to 8A. All versions are available with AC or DC input, with input voltages from 5 VDC to 240 VAC.



The relays are available pre-assembled in a DIN-mount socket, and this universal AC/DC socket includes built-in surge suppression and a green LED Indicator. The entire socket and relay assembly is UL listed, and a release lever is included for easy locking and removal of the relay.



The 14mm-wide RV8H compact relay family features high dielectric strength and impulse withstand voltage, and all DC input relays are protected from reverse polarity. Either screw type or spring clamp terminations can be specified. The operating temperature range is -40ºC to 70°C, and all versions are RoHS compliant.
