Multi-function timer with wide delay range
The Omron H5CX-A11SD-N DC12-24/AC24 is a programmable multi-function timer from the H5CX series, covering delay times from 0.001 seconds up to 9999 hours — a span that handles everything from fast pulse timing to long-duration cycle delays in a single unit. It accepts either 24VAC or 12–24VDC supply, giving flexibility across control panels that mix AC and DC control voltages without needing separate timer variants. The solid state relay output switches without mechanical contacts, so it suits high-cycle-count applications where an electromechanical relay would wear out — think repetitive timing in packaging or labeling machines.
Socket-mount integration
Termination is via an 11-pin octal plug-in base, so the timer body can be swapped without rewiring — useful for panel maintenance or function changes on a live DIN-rail assembly. Timing adjustment uses up/down digit keys on the front panel, with the set value displayed directly in engineering units — no potentiometer guesswork. Initiation can be triggered by either the applied supply voltage or an external trigger signal, matching both self-starting and remote-start timing schemes.
