Phoenix Contact RIF-1-RPT-LV-230AC/2X21 Relay Module, 230V AC, 2 PDT Contacts

The Phoenix Contact RIF-1-RPT-LV-230AC/2X21 relay module is a pre-assembled industrial interface component designed for reliable signal isolation and power switching in automation control systems. This unit features advanced Push-in connection technology, which facilitates rapid and tool-free wiring, significantly reducing installation time in control cabinets. The module comes as a complete set, including the relay base, power contact relay, pluggable display and interference suppression module, and a retaining bracket, ensuring a robust and ready-to-use solution for industrial applications.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this relay module is its integrated design, which combines all necessary components into a single, compact unit, thereby simplifying procurement and assembly. The Push-in connection technology provides a secure, vibration-resistant contact that maintains long-term electrical integrity even in demanding environments. Furthermore, the inclusion of an LED status indicator allows for quick visual diagnostics, enabling maintenance personnel to identify the operational state of the relay instantly. The module is built to withstand standard industrial temperature ranges and offers high switching reliability for 230V AC circuits.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation control systems
• Signal isolation between control and load circuits
• Power switching for small to medium-sized electrical loads
• Control cabinet installations requiring space-saving components

This module may not be suitable for applications requiring high-frequency switching or environments where the input voltage deviates significantly from the 230V AC specification. It is also not intended for use in high-current power distribution circuits that exceed the rated contact capacity of the device.

Key specifications

• Input voltage: 230V AC
• Contact configuration: 2 PDT (double-pole double-throw)
• Connection method: Push-in technology
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to +50°C
• Dimensions: 16 x 75 x 93 mm
• Weight: 68.2 g
• Integrated LED status indicator

To use the relay module, mount it onto a standard DIN rail within your control cabinet. Insert your conductors directly into the Push-in terminals until they are firmly seated. Ensure that the input voltage matches the 230V AC rating before energizing the circuit. The module is designed for plug-and-play operation, but always verify that the retaining bracket is properly secured to prevent accidental disconnection due to vibration.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your control system output provides 230V AC
• Ensure the physical space in your cabinet accommodates the 16 mm width
• Check that the load requirements are compatible with the 2 PDT contact rating
• Confirm the operating temperature of your environment stays within the specified range

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance and longevity, ensure that the module is installed in a clean, dry environment with adequate ventilation. Periodically inspect the Push-in connections to ensure they remain secure and free from debris. Do not exceed the specified electrical ratings to prevent premature wear or failure of the relay contacts.
