A new range of bridge bars from Releco offers a quick and easy solution for wiring banks of the company's IRC interface relays together.

A new range of bridge bars from Releco offers a quick and easy solution for wiring banks of the company's IRC interface relays together The same system can be used on both S-10M and S-12 sockets allowing hybrid groups of relays in any combination of voltages, coils and contacts

The sockets S-10M and S-12 have two A2 terminals numbered 5 and 6 that are internally connected.

Each bridge bar element connects terminal 6 of the first socket to terminal 5 of the next always leaving free terminal 5 on the first socket and terminal 6 of the last to connect the common polarity cable.

The S12BB bridge bars come in strips of four but each strip can be broken down into individual pieces if required.

As there is no electrical connection between each element there is no danger of exposed copper at the break points.

The V40 bridge bars can link four similar terminals on the contact side in four adjacent sockets and the V10 bridge bar can link two.

The V40 bridge bars cannot be broken down but can be joined up to other V40 or V10 bridge bars to link any number of sockets.

The links are made of copper with a current capacity of 40A and are plastic coated for insulation.

The standard colour is grey but red and blue is also available and can be used to help identify different voltages.
