Relay interface modules reduce assembly time

Reducing design and manufacturing time, Switchtec's RIM relay interface modules enable OEMs and panel builders to fit and install up to 16 relays with one easy-to-install unit.

Reducing design and manufacturing time, Switchtec's RIM relay interface modules enable OEMs and panel builders to fit and install up to 16 relays with one easy-to-install unit.

The RIMs offer manufacturers greater flexibility and speed of installation compared to installing and wiring 16 individual relays.

An industry standard product, Switchtec's RIMs are available in 12/24V DC, and 24/110/240V AC versions.

Featuring HE10/10 and D type connectors, Switchtec's RIMs are more versatile than competitors' units, making it quick and easy to make or break connections for build and maintenance purposes.

LED status indication of relays is provided and all units have common rail indication to show if +DC, -DC or AC voltages exist on the common rail.

To minimise electrical interference, all DC units have diode suppressors fitted across the relay coils.

Unlike some competitors' AC units that use a bridge rectifier and DC coils, all AC units have AC coil relays fitted to minimise contact bounce.

The RIMs have an output contact rating of 12A at 250V AC or 30V DC, and for longevity, output contact materials are AgCdO.

Switchtec's RIMs mount on top hat or G style DIN rails and are available in 4-, 8- and 16-way variants.

The units are specified to operate over a temperature range of -30 to +55C.
