Phoenix Contact Electromechanical Relays

Electromechanical relays transfer signals between its contacts through a mechanical movement. They are made of a coil, an armature mechanism and electrical contacts. When the coil is energized, the induced magnetic field moves the armature that opens and closes the contacts. Electromechanical relays are remote controlled switches capable of switching many circuits, either individually or in sequence. They have high reliability, low power consumption and a long switching operational life. Electromechanical relays are preferred for harsh environments. They are tolerant of high temperatures and perform well in areas prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Surges, transients and noise do not affect an electromechanical protective relay.

Phoenix Contact PLC-INTERFACE relay series for universal use provides a wide range of plug-in electromechanical relays. The following special versions are available: Series for coupling sensors or actuators, filter series for long control cables, switch modules for manual intervention, relay modules for railway applications, relay modules for high inrush currents and reversing load relays for DC motors. The comprehensive product range optimizes installation with versatile accessories and provides easy connection technology (screw, spring-cage or Push-in).
