It's built for control-circuit switching — think PLC outputs driving contactor coils, solenoid valves, or signal lamps in a panel — not for direct motor loads. Rated for utilisation categories AC-15 (solenoid valve and electromagnetic load switching), AC-14 (small electromagnetic loads), and DC-13 (inductive DC loads), so it handles the mix of inductive and resistive control signals you'd expect in a 24 V or 110 V control loop. The 5 NO configuration gives you five independent switching channels in a single 45 mm wide package — useful for ganging multiple contactor coils or status signals off one PLC output.
Snap-in terminals mean it clips directly onto a DIN rail — no tools needed for mounting, just a screwdriver for the wiring. At 45 mm wide and 107 mm tall, it takes up one standard modular device slot. The IP2X front face (VDE 0106) means finger-safe from the front once installed, but the back and sides are open to the enclosure — plan for proper clearance and segregation from live busbars. Rated for ambient operation from -40 °C to 60 °C, with derating allowed up to 70 °C. Storage range is -60 °C to 80 °C. The TH protective treatment per IEC 60068 means it's treated against humidity and condensation — no extra conformal coating needed for typical industrial atmospheres.
Mechanical and electrical robustness
Vibration tested to 4 Gn closed, 2 Gn open across 5–300 Hz per IEC 60068-2-6. Shock rated at 15 Gn closed, 10 Gn open for 11 ms. That's enough for most machine-mounted applications — conveyors, pumps, compressors — but if the relay is mounted directly on a high-vibration press or crusher, you'll want to check the specific mounting orientation and add damping. Complies with EN/IEC 60947-5-1, UL 60947-5-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-5-1, GB/T 14048.5, and JIS C8201-5-1. That's the full set of control-circuit device standards for Europe, North America, China, and Japan — no separate UL/CSA variant needed for most projects.
