Universal relay base range with spring cage connection

8 March 2006 Switches, Relays & Keypads

The relay base range from Phoenix Contact is a modular system comprising various relay bases, pluggable relays and opto-couplers, input and suppression modules, relay retaining brackets with eject function, and identification plates.

Depending on the application, it is possible to choose from base elements with a width of 15,5 mm and upwards and screw or spring cage connections. Alongside the standard bases with 2/2 level construction, there are also bases available with coil termination and contact connections opposite each other.

The relay product range includes miniature power relays with one or two changeover contacts, industrial relays with two or four changeover contacts and octal relays with three or four changeover contacts. Industrial relays, manually operated keys, (DC type) damping diodes and LED displays are already integrated as user-friendly extras. This can often save on the need for separate input and suppression modules and therefore save on cost as well. All relays are available in the standard coil voltage from 12 V to 230 V and, as is case for the basis, have international approval.
