Phoenix Contact RIF-1-BPT/2X21 Relay Base

The Phoenix Contact RIF-1-BPT/2X21 relay base is a professional-grade component engineered for secure and reliable electrical connections within industrial automation systems. Designed to accommodate miniature power relays with 1 or 2 PDT contacts or compatible solid-state relays, this base provides a stable interface for complex switching operations. Its construction prioritizes durability and ease of integration, making it a dependable choice for demanding control environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this relay base is the integrated push-in connection technology, which significantly reduces installation time and ensures vibration-resistant wiring without the need for specialized tools. The modular design allows for the convenient plug-in of input or suppressor modules, enhancing the flexibility of the control circuit. Its compact form factor and robust build quality ensure long-term operational reliability even in environments subject to mechanical stress.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Switching operations in electrical cabinets
• Integration with miniature power relays
• Applications requiring rapid, tool-free wiring

When it may not be suitable

This relay base is specifically designed for use with compatible miniature power relays and solid-state relays of the RIF-1 series. It is not suitable for applications requiring high-current power distribution or for relays with different pin configurations that do not match the RIF-1 standard.

Key specifications

• Connection type: Push-in connection
• Compatibility: Miniature power relays with 1 or 2 PDTs or solid-state relays
• Mounting: DIN rail NS 35/7,5
• Color: Grey
• Weight: 49.7 g
• Modular options: Plug-in slots for input or suppressor modules

How to use

To install the relay base, snap it onto a standard NS 35/7,5 DIN rail. Insert the appropriate miniature power relay or solid-state relay into the designated slots on the base. Connect your field wiring directly into the push-in terminals by inserting the stripped wire until it is firmly seated. If required by your application, plug the optional input or suppressor modules into the provided slots on the base to manage signal interference or status indication.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your relay model is compatible with the RIF-1 series design.
• Ensure your control cabinet has sufficient space on the NS 35/7,5 DIN rail.
• Check if additional input or suppressor modules are needed for your specific circuit requirements.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the power supply is disconnected before installing or replacing relays in the base. Ensure that the wire cross-sections used are within the specified range for the push-in terminals to maintain a secure and reliable connection.
