Littelfuse Safety Relays
Littelfuse Safety Relays are safety control modules designed to monitor safety inputs and reliably de-energize safety outputs to bring machinery to a safe state when hazardous conditions are detected. These relays commonly supervise emergency stop (E-stop) circuits, safety door and guard switches, light curtains, and two-hand control stations. By processing safety signals through redundant internal channels, Littelfuse safety relays help reduce the risk of unintended motion or hazardous energy release by removing control power when a safety event occurs.
Designed for industrial environments, Littelfuse safety relays are typically compact, DIN-rail mounted, and intended for continuous-duty operation. Many models provide practical configuration and maintenance features such as selectable manual or automatic reset, time-delay functions for controlled stop or restart behavior, control output monitoring (EDM/feedback loop supervision), and LED indicators to support commissioning and diagnostics. These capabilities help simplify troubleshooting while supporting safety circuit integrity.
Littelfuse safety relays integrate directly with safety interlock devices and other safety inputs, then interface with contactors, safety-rated outputs, or downstream control elements to complete a safe shutdown of the machine or process. When properly selected, installed, and validated as part of a safety function, these relays support functional safety compliance and help protect personnel, equipment, and production operations.
FAQs
Q: What are Littelfuse safety relays used for?
Littelfuse safety relays monitor inputs from safety devices such as emergency stops, safety interlocks, and light curtains to trigger safe shutdowns of machinery when unsafe conditions occur.
Q: How do Littelfuse safety relays differ from regular relays?
Safety relays include redundant internal logic and self-monitoring designed for fail-safe operation in safety circuits. Regular relays are not designed to provide the same diagnostic coverage or safety-rated behavior.
Q: What safety devices can be connected to Littelfuse safety relays?
Common devices include emergency stop buttons, safety door/guard switches and interlocks, safety light curtains, and two-hand control devices.
Q: Do Littelfuse safety relays support timer functions?
Yes. Many Littelfuse safety relays offer timer functions to support delayed outputs, controlled stopping sequences, or defined restart timing (model dependent).
Q: Where are Littelfuse safety relays typically used?
They are used in industrial machinery, automated production lines, packaging equipment, robotics cells, and material handling systems where dependable safety monitoring and rapid shutdown are required.
