Relays

RJ PCB relays, the newest addition to our relay family, were designed with the same attention-to-detail IDEC is known for. The most recent IDEC innovation is a return spring structure for the RJ PCB relays that eliminates unnecessary weak points improving durability, and increasing electrical conductivity and service life.

  • RJ Slim GP Relay ideal for space saving application
  • Compact size: 12.7 x 25.5 x 28.8mm
  • Long electrical life and mechanical life
  • Electrical life: 200,000 cycles (AC Load) and 100,000 cycles (DC Load)
  • Mechanical life: 30 million cycles (AC coil) and 50 million cycles (DC coil)
  • RoHS Complaint (2002/95/EC)

 

Designed with attention to every detail, IDEC Relays go the extra mile in performance and dependability. RU relays are constructed with no internal wiring in a 100% automated, robotic-assembly process, which for you means no weak solder points. Our RH relays are built-to-last and 3rd party tested at 500,000 operating cycles, even though UL approval only requires an electrical lifespan of 6,000 cycles. And the newest addition to our relay family is no exception. RJ relays have an optional green, non-polarized LED that uses a unique light guide to give you a brighter and more noticeable status indicator, viewable from multiple directions

Smart Relays

Get smart with the fully programmable IDEC SmartRelay, a compact, expandable CPU that can replace multiple timers, relays and counters. Each CPU houses a real-time clock and calendar, and supports optional expansion I/O modules to enhance your control and monitoring applications. Program and edit using either the "smart" on-board selection buttons and display interface, or our even "smarter" software, WindLGC. The IDEC SmartRelay is the ideal solution for managing automatic lighting, access control, watering systems, pump control, or ventilation systems in factory or home automation.

Switches

From miniature pilot lights and switches that mount into 8mm panel cut outs through full size industrial switches that mount into 30mm cutouts, we have a switch or indicator for almost any application. Terminations include solder / quick connect terminals, screw terminals, or PC board pins for direct board mounting. Miniature models use snap action gold plated contacts for superior low level switching, whereas larger models use slow-make, double break contacts for switching heavier loads, up to 10A. Many models offer the flexibility of modular construction, which allows you to change contacts, lamp voltages or button colors easily.

Display Lights

Immediate indication of process status is a must in any application. Realize this goal with Signalight towers that offer 360 degree visibility from any direction or the SLC series panel mounted pilot light arrays which provide for a more detailed local indication. Both offer a variety of configurations, and either LED or incandescent lamp illumination.
