Zelio® Plug-in Relays RXM Miniature Relays

Product Description

Product Description
7

2 The RXM miniature relay range consists of:

1. 12 A relays with 2 C/O contacts, 10 A relays with 3 C/O contacts, 6 A
relays with 4 C/O contacts, and 3 A “low level” relays with 4 C/O
contacts. All these relays have the same dimensions.
2. Sockets with mixed or separate contact terminals.
1
3. Protection modules (diode, RC circuit or varistor). All these modules are
common to all sockets.
4. A metal hold-down clip for all sockets.
4
or 5. A plastic hold-down clip for all sockets.
5 6. A 2-pole bus jumper that can be used on sockets with separate contact
6 terminals to simplify wiring when creating a jumper between the coil
terminals.
3
7. Clip-in markers for all the sockets except RXZ E2M114.

8 Relay Description

2 1. Spring return push button for testing the contacts (green: DC, red: AC).
3 2. Mechanical “relay status” indicator.
3. Removable lock-down door enabling forced maintaining of the contacts
4
for test or maintenance purposes. During operation, this lock-down door
5 must always be in the closed position.
7 6
10 4. Bipolar LED (depending on version) indicating the relay status.
9 9 5. Removable marker for relay identification.
6. Four notches for DIN rail mounting adapter or panel mounting adapter.
7. Eight, eleven, or fourteen pins.
8. Area by which the product can be easily gripped.
9. Mounting adapter enabling direct mounting of the relay on a panel.
10. Mounting adapter enabling direct mounting of the relay on a DIN rail.
