Uprated power relay saves space on the
panel
The rugged G7Z power relay is designed and insulated to continuously apply up to 40A at 440V AC.
The G7Z high capacity power relay from Omron Scientific Technologies is a compact and powerful alternative in applications where bulkier and less efficient contactors have traditionally been used and consumed valuable panel space Conventional power relays have been limited to use in applications up to 25A, but the rugged G7Z is designed and insulated to continuously apply up to 40A at 440V AC, or up to a maximum of 160A using four-pole parallel connections for full-power application

Scientific Technologies is introducing its MicroSafe MC4700 Series Safety Light Curtains, featuring an ultra-compact transmitter and receiver and superior response time
The G7Z series is RoHS compliant and consumes less than 4W of DC power, and is approximately 40% smaller and 30% quieter when compared with traditional contactor solutions.
That reduces energy consumption and saves valuable control panel space.
The G7Z provides EN60947-4-1 certified safety functionality via mirror contact mechanisms that use a combination of the relay and auxiliary contact blocks, and is quickly and easily mounted to a DIN track.
