Plug-in Relay Interface Saves Power

Tyco Electronics’ XT series of plug-in relays offers a coil power of only 400mW for the DC-coil version, and only 750mVA for the AC-coil version, thereby saving power compared to plug-in relays in the same class.

The series includes one-pole, 16A and two-pole, 8A versions. Using reinforced pins for plug-in and panel applications, the XT series does not require special sockets and and reduces logistical cost by using the same 5mm pin-out for both versions. A clear cover allows easy visibility of the contacts, whilst a mechanical indicator shows the contact position. The relays also feature a lockable manual-test system. Visual indication can be provided by an integrated LED, and optionally an internal protection diode (with DC-coil types).

Reinforced insulation means that the XT series meets protection class II VDE 0700 specifications. Switching capacities are available up to 4000VA and 2000VA for the one-pole and two-pole versions respectively. The DC- and AC-coil versions are also colour coded to minimise the risk of errors.
