What the H3CR-H8RL is and where it sits in a panel
The Omron H3CR-H8RL AC100-120 M is a socket-mount off-delay timer in the H3CR-H series, built around a mechanical relay with an SPDT (1 Form C) contact rated 5 A at 250 VAC (cites:,). Supply is 100 to 120 VAC and timing is initiated by the input voltage itself, so the unit keeps its contact state for the dial-set interval after the supply drops — that is the off-delay behaviour, not a power-on reset (cites:,). Delay spans 0.05 min to 12 min on a hand-dial adjustment, and the body terminates as an 8-pin octal plug that drops into a standard panel socket — useful for service swap-out and for matching legacy control wiring without re-terminating (cites:,).
Lifecycle status and sourcing posture
For an active-but-mature timer like this, independent distribution quotes against the BOM with lead time and volume pricing confirmed at RFQ; the supply chain is steady rather than short or panicked (cites:C1,).
