They are particularly suitable for circuit boards where the ability to change power relays quickly is essential for maintenance and the minimising of downtime in the event of a fault.
There is a growing trend towards the use of PCBs in power control applications, but engineers often wish to retain the option of rapid component replacement that they enjoy with traditional plug-in, rail-mounted components.
The 97.11 and 97.12 sockets have a small 12.4 x 32mm footprint, minimising board space requirements.
They maintain the full 6kV coil-to-contact isolation specification of the relay.
An integral retaining clip ensures that the relay is firmly retained when used in applications where they may be subject to shock or vibration and the sockets carry C UR approval for the US.
The 46 series relays, which fit the sockets, includes both single-pole and two-pole contact configurations for use in control panels and systems.
The relays are fully terminal-compatible with the de-facto industry standard, with Faston spade/blade terminals that provide secure and reliable connections between the relay and the 97 series socket.
The new sockets complete the line up of 46 series relay mounting options that already include a range of 35mm rail mounting sockets the 97.01 and 97.02 screw connection models and the 97.51 and 97.52 screwless connection versions as well as flange-mounting and direct-rail mounting adapters that allow the use of either Faston or soldered connection to the relay terminals.
All the 97 series rail mounting sockets accept the full range of 99.02 coil indication and suppression modules and the 86.30 bi-function, multirange timer modules.
