Electromagnetic relay PK-3P 12V AC/DC, contact: 3P I=3x8A, 1 module PK-3P-12V

Electromagnetic relay – reliable circuit switching

This electromagnetic relay, designed for mounting on a standard 35mm rail, is a solid solution for controlling various electrical circuits. The compact single-module housing makes it ideal for switchboards and automation systems. This relay is particularly useful in applications requiring frequent switching of loads, and its universal supply voltage (12V AC/DC) increases the range of applications.

Construction and application

The PK-3P relay is characterized by three switchable contacts, allowing it to handle both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) circuits. This allows it to be used in a variety of applications – from simple lighting control systems to more complex industrial automation systems. Screw terminals provide secure and durable wire connections, and the inability to disconnect the terminals increases connection reliability during operation. The IP20 degree of protection provides basic protection against touch and dust.

Key features and benefits

• Versatility: The ability to power with both AC and DC 12V makes the relay compatible with a wide range of electrical installations.
• High load capacity: Each contact can handle a current of up to 8A, allowing you to control most standard loads.
• Compact dimensions: The single-module housing (90 x 65 mm) minimizes the space occupied in the switchboard.
• Solid construction: Made of high-quality materials, it guarantees long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
• Easy installation: Designed for direct mounting on a 35mm rail, which facilitates and speeds up installation.
• Universal contacts: Three switchable contacts (3P) provide flexibility in configuring control circuits.
• Safety: Compliance with IP20 standard provides basic protection against external factors.

Choosing the right relay for a specific application is crucial to ensure the reliability and safety of the installation. Remember to consider the nature of the load – especially in the case of inductive or capacitive devices, where the starting current may significantly exceed the rated current, which may shorten the life of the contacts.
