Schneider Electric DIN Rail Power Relay, 230V ac, 240 V ac Coil, 16A Switching Current, SPST

In the dark about lighting circuit safety? Get some clarity with this power relay from Schneider Electric. It has a 1NO configuration and is designed for connection to 3mA push buttons, letting you turn lights on and off remotely. A switch on the front gives you a local, manual control option. Fitted with a coil, the device uses a relay-style switch to boost the safety of your circuits. It only needs a short pulse between 50ms and 1s to change contacts, making it an energy-efficient component. Use it with Acti9 series timers, remote indicators and centralised controls to actively protect your control circuits as they work.

• Clips easily onto a DIN rail for fuss-free installation

• Offices

Although contactors and relays are both used for switching loads, they work slightly differently. An impulse relay switches each time a voltage is briefly applied. A contactor switches a circuit on when a voltage is applied and off again when this power is absent.

iTL impulse relays are used to control by pushbuttons lighting circuits consisting of incandescent lamps, low-voltage halogen lamps, fluorescent lamps and discharge lamps.

Closing of the impulse relay pole is triggered by an impulse on the coil
