Electromagnetic relay PK-1P 230 V, 1 x NO 16 A contact, Inrush 120A/20ms PK-1Z-LED-230

Special purpose electromagnetic relay

The PK-1P 230 V electromagnetic relay is a reliable device designed to control electrical circuits, especially where high surge current resistance is required. The relay's construction with a single changeover contact (NO) with a load capacity of 16 A makes it an ideal solution for various applications, including controlling LED lighting, electronic transformers and other receivers with high starting current. This relay is widely used in both home and industrial installations.

Characteristics and application

The PK-1P relay is designed for mounting on a 35 mm rail, which facilitates its integration with existing electrical systems. Its main task is to switch circuits under a voltage of 230 V AC, ensuring safe and efficient operation of devices. A built-in LED indicates the relay's activation status, which facilitates diagnostics and system control. It is particularly useful for inductive or capacitive loads, where the starting current can significantly exceed the rated current. This minimizes the risk of damage to the relay and ensures long-term reliability.

Advantages and benefits

• High surge current resistance: The relay can withstand a surge current of up to 120 A for 20 ms, making it an ideal solution for receivers with high power demand at start-up (e.g. LED fluorescent lamps, transformers).
• Versatility: It can be used in a wide range of applications – from lighting control to switching on electrical devices.
• Safety: Provides galvanic isolation between the control circuit and the load, increasing safety.
• Convenient mounting: Mounting on a standard 35 mm rail facilitates installation and integration with existing systems.
• Status indication: The built-in LED informs about the relay's activation status, which facilitates diagnostics.
• Durable construction: Made of high-quality materials ensures long-lasting and reliable operation in various environmental conditions (operating temperature: -25 ÷ 50 °C).
• Protection class IP20: Provides protection against touching with a finger and against the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning its compact dimensions (1 module – 18 mm), which allow for efficient use of space in the switchgear cabinet. Therefore, the PK-1P relay is an excellent choice for both professional installers and end-users looking for a reliable and effective solution for controlling electrical circuits.
