With a switching capacity of 8A and a 24V DC control voltage, it ensures consistent operation across various demanding applications.

Advantages

This miniature power relay stands out due to its compact footprint, which allows for high-density component placement on PCBs without compromising electrical performance. Its 2-pole design offers versatility in circuit design, while the 8A switching capacity provides sufficient power handling for a wide range of industrial and commercial tasks. The relay is built to the high manufacturing standards associated with Schneider Electric, ensuring long-term durability, consistent contact reliability, and stable operation under standard environmental conditions.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation control panels
• Electronic equipment and instrumentation
• HVAC control systems
• Building management systems
• Signal switching in low-voltage circuits

When it may not be suitable

This relay is not intended for high-power applications exceeding its 8A switching capacity or for environments with extreme vibrations or temperatures outside the specified operating range. It is also not suitable for direct AC mains switching if the load characteristics exceed the relay's rated insulation and contact specifications.

Key specifications

• Configuration: 2-pole (2P)
• Switching capacity: 8A
• Control voltage: 24V DC
• Mounting type: PCB mount
• Compact miniature design

How to use

The relay is designed for direct soldering onto a printed circuit board. Ensure that the PCB layout matches the pin configuration of the relay to prevent short circuits or mechanical stress. When soldering, use appropriate thermal management to avoid overheating the internal components. Once installed, connect the 24V DC control signal to the coil terminals and wire the load circuit through the contact terminals according to your schematic design.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your control circuit provides a stable 24V DC supply.
• Ensure the load current does not exceed the 8A limit.
• Check the physical space available on your PCB for the relay dimensions.
• Confirm the pin layout matches your existing board design.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the power is disconnected from the circuit before installing or replacing the relay. It is recommended to use a protective diode across the coil terminals if the relay is driven by a transistor or sensitive electronic controller to prevent back-EMF damage.
