MICROSERIES relays

The company expands its portfolio of Class 1 Division 2 approved products with five new MICROSERIES relays designed specifically for use in hazardous locations. The new relay versions are all Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) configuration with screw clamp termination. The five new options include the following versions: 12 VDC, 24 VDC, 24 VUC, 120 VUC, and 230 VUC. The three VUC relay versions accept AC as well as DC input signals for greater application flexibility. This feature enables customers to use fewer relay variations, reducing the number of parts in inventory. The new MICROSERIES Class 1 Division 2 RC version provides an important safety feature that can reduce overall costs and machine downtime. Inductive kickback protection is provided through an integrated RC circuit at the input. This guarantees a safe switching threshold, eliminating leakage currents on the control side. This important safety feature is integrated into the relay so no additional protective circuit or component is needed.
