Lovato Electric HR502CD024 Miniature Relay, 24VDC Control, 2C/O, 8A, with LED Indicator and Mechanical Test Button

The Lovato Electric HR502CD024 is a high-quality miniature industrial relay engineered for precise switching in control circuits. This compact component is designed to operate with a 24VDC control voltage and features a 2C/O contact configuration with an 8A current rating. It is equipped with an integrated LED status indicator for quick visual diagnostics and a mechanical test button that allows for manual operation during maintenance or system testing. This relay is specifically designed for seamless integration with HR5XS2 sockets, ensuring a secure and reliable connection in various electrical environments.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this relay is its robust construction combined with user-friendly features that simplify installation and troubleshooting. The inclusion of a mechanical test button allows technicians to verify circuit functionality without needing to energize the coil, which significantly improves safety and efficiency during commissioning. Furthermore, the built-in LED indicator provides immediate feedback on the relay status, reducing downtime during operation. Its compact design makes it an excellent choice for space-constrained control panels and automation systems where reliability is paramount.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation systems
• Control panels and switchgear
• Electrical equipment requiring signal switching
• Maintenance and diagnostic testing of control circuits

When it may not be suitable

This relay is not intended for high-power switching applications exceeding its 8A current rating. It should not be used in environments where the control voltage differs from the specified 24VDC, as this will prevent proper operation and may damage the internal coil.

Key specifications

• Control voltage: 24VDC
• Contact configuration: 2C/O (Double Pole Double Throw)
• Maximum current rating: 8A
• Features: Integrated LED indicator and mechanical test button
• Compatibility: Designed for HR5XS2 series sockets

How to use

To use the Lovato Electric HR502CD024, insert the relay into a compatible HR5XS2 socket, ensuring that the pins are correctly aligned. Once seated, connect the 24VDC control signal to the appropriate terminals. The relay will switch automatically when the coil is energized. To perform a manual test, press the mechanical test button to toggle the contacts without applying electrical power to the coil.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your control system provides a 24VDC signal.
• Ensure the load current does not exceed 8A.
• Confirm that you have the correct HR5XS2 socket for installation.
• Check the physical space available in your control cabinet.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the power supply is disconnected before installing or removing the relay from its socket to prevent electrical hazards. Regularly inspect the relay for signs of wear or damage if used in high-frequency switching applications.
