The Omron H3Y-2 DC24 60M is a socket-mount time delay relay from the H3Y series, running on 24 VDC and offering a hand-dial-adjustable delay window from 2 minutes to 60 minutes. The DPDT (2 Form C) output contacts are rated for 5 A at 250 VAC, which covers pilot duty, small motor starters, and signal-level switching in control panels. Both off-delay and on-delay functions are selectable on the same unit, giving the panel builder one part number for either timing mode.
The relay is socketable — it plugs into a standard 8-pin or 11-pin octal-style base (sold separately). The termination style is plug-in, so the relay body can be swapped without disturbing panel wiring. The 24 VDC coil is the timing initiate method: applying input voltage starts the timing cycle, and removing it resets the internal circuit. The hand dial on the face sets the delay period within the 2-to-60-minute range; no programming tool or potentiometer is required.
The mechanical relay type means the output is a physical contact closure — no solid-state leakage, and the 5 A rating at 250 VAC is the resistive load curve. For inductive loads like contactor coils or small solenoids, derate per the manufacturer's curve or add a snubber across the load. The package is bulk, so individual units arrive in standard anti-static or cardboard packaging, not tape-and-reel.
