A new relay with forcibly guided contacts has been announced by Finder, which is targeted at safety applications.
In such demanding environments where for compliance with continually evolving standards is a regular occurrence, devices such as the 7S Series of relays offers a compact solution for designers and engineers who require confirmation of the functional integrity of critical circuitry.
The relays are Class A forcibly guided contacts rated at 6A, 250VAC and conform to EN50205 requirements.
The screwless terminals allow for quick, vibration-resistant connections, and the availability of 2, 4 and 6 pole versions makes the relays suitable for a wide range of uses in machine and plant control systems and energy generation, as well as water supply and treatment.
The range utilises materials that comply with UNI 11170-3 for fire and smoke resistance, and meets with EN 61373 and EN50155 standards making them suitable for railway applications.
The relays have an operating voltage range spanning 0.7 to 1.25 of nominal, creating a wide supply variation.
Standard gold-plated or notched crown contacts provide high reliability switching, with a minimum load rating of 60mW.
The devices meet the requirements of EN 13849-1 for functional reliability in machines and plant engineering, and are housed in compact 22.5mm rail mounting enclosures. These are equipped with quick-connect cage clamp terminals and LED coil status indication for improved performance.
