Delay relay, contacts: 1NO/1NC 24V PCA-512-24V

Time relay for precise control

The PCA-512-24V time relay is a reliable device designed for time-based control in a wide range of applications – from industrial automation to home installations. Its versatility and precision make it an ideal solution for both professional installers and end-users looking for an effective way to automate processes. The device is characterized by delayed de-energization, which means that after the supply voltage is applied, the contact switches and starts counting the set working time, and after it expires, it returns to its initial position.

Functionality and flexibility

The PCA-512-24V relay offers a wide range of working time adjustment, from 0.1 seconds to 576 hours, allowing it to be adapted to the specific needs of a given application. The ability to smoothly adjust the time within the set range further increases its flexibility. Mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail ensures easy and quick installation in electrical panels. Contact status indication with a red LED and power indication with a green LED facilitates monitoring of the device's operation.

Technical parameters and safety

The relay is powered by 24V AC/DC, ensuring compatibility with most standard electrical installations. It has one changeover contact (1NO/NC) with a maximum load current of 10A at 250V AC. The switching capacity for incandescent bulbs is 1500W, for fluorescent lamps (DUO compensation) 650VA, and for inductive fluorescent lamps also 650VA. It ensures safe and reliable operation thanks to contact separation and a response delay of 50ms. The housing with a protection degree of IP20 protects against accidental contact. The device's power consumption is only 0.8W, which translates to low energy consumption. The device operates in a wide temperature range from -25°C to +50°C. Compact dimensions (1 module – 18mm wide) allow for efficient use of space in the switchgear.
