Key specifications

• Connection type: Push-in connection
• Compatibility: Industrial relays with 2 or 4 PDTs
• Mounting: NS 35/7.5 DIN rail
• Color: Grey
• Weight: 62.82 g
• Modular support: Plug-in option for input and suppressor modules

How to use

To install the relay socket, snap it onto a standard NS 35/7.5 DIN rail until it is securely locked in place. Connect your control and load wires directly into the push-in terminals by inserting the stripped conductors until they are firmly held. If required, insert the appropriate input or suppressor module into the designated slot on the socket. Finally, plug the compatible industrial relay into the socket interface to complete the circuit connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your relay model is compatible with the RIF-2 series interface.
• Ensure your DIN rail type matches the NS 35/7.5 standard.
• Check if your specific application requires additional input or suppressor modules.
• Confirm the wire gauge is compatible with the push-in terminal specifications.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the power is disconnected before installing or replacing relays in the socket to prevent electrical hazards. Ensure that all wires are fully inserted into the push-in terminals to maintain a secure and reliable connection.
