Schneider Electric Power Relay, 12V dc Coil, 3A Switching Current, 4PDT

RXM miniature relays are part of Harmony Electromechanical Relays. This is a plug in relay to be mounted on a RXZE socket. It is a 4 C/O relay (gold plated contact) with current rating of 3A, control circuit voltage of 12 V DC. It also offers one-step loackable test button and mechanical indicator for contact status. The testbutton is activated momentarily by pushing the blue pushbutton on the front and locked by flipping up the green part. The mechanical indicator is next to the testbutton, where an orange flag indicates the relay contact status. A green LED on the front will illuminate when the relay is on. Status display with LED: clearly signal both in the day and night. Its design is fit for industrial machines, packaging, textile, HVAC, automation control panels, low/medium voltage switchgear, motor control, PLC Interfaces, power supplies, building equipment, especially those requiring low level contacts. It is a green premium product and conforms to international standard and certifications like IEC, CE, UL, CSA, EAC, Lloyd's, RoHS and REACH. RXM Relay should be used with a RXZE socket (screw clamp, screw connector, push-in terminal). To protect against vibrations, plastic/metal clamp can be added to the socket. Protection modules and marking legend are also available. It is sold in lots of 10 and reference includes relay only. The RXM plug-in relays are a series of industrial plug-in relays designed for both simple and complex automation systems and available with 2 CO (12A), 3 CO (10A), 4 CO (6A) contacts, 4 CO (3A) low level contacts.

Introducing Schneider Electrics compact RXM miniature relays with LED. They are often used to increase the functions in electrical enclosures, predominantly for industrial applications (machine/building equipment and HVAC). These relays can be referred to as an electromechanical relay or an industrial switch.

A relay is an electrical switch that is operated by electrical pulses, their primary function is to open and close a circuit. When power passes through a circuit, a relay switches position (usually from NC to NO) using an internal coil which generates a magnetic force. This force then holds the relay in a NO position, when the current is switched off the relay returns to the NC position. This function is what makes these non-latching relays perfect for push-button applications such as keyboards and micro-controller input buttons.
