Relay 1P 16A 24V AC 46.61.8.024.0040

This relay, catalog number 46.61.8.024.0040, is a compact device used for remote control of electrical circuits. It is a single-pole (1P) relay designed to operate with a 24V AC control voltage, making it an ideal solution in building automation systems, lighting control, or simple industrial applications.

Construction and application

This relay is characterized by a single switching contact, meaning it can switch one circuit on or off. Its dimensions – 12.4 mm wide, 32.8 mm high, and 29 mm deep – allow for mounting in tight spaces. It is made of high-quality materials, guaranteeing reliable operation even in harsh environmental conditions (operating temperature from -40°C to +70°C). A plug-in connection simplifies and speeds up installation, and non-polarized coils simplify the connection of the control power supply. Monostable switching mode means the relay changes state after receiving a control voltage pulse and maintains it until the next pulse.

Advantages and user parameters

This relay stands out from the competition primarily due to its reliability and durability. A mechanical life of 10 million cycles and an AC1 electrical life of 100,000 cycles guarantee a long service life. A rated current of 16A allows control of loads up to 4kW (AC1), and a DC1 breaking capacity ensures safe operation in DC circuits. It is worth noting the fast operating time of only 15ms and a return time of 5ms, which is important in applications requiring precise control. The standard contact material AgNi provides good conductivity and spark resistance. Additionally, the high insulation strength coil-contacts (6kV) increases the safety of using the device.
