General Purpose Relays

General Purpose Relays RJ Series
RJ relays, the newest addition to our relay family, were designed with the same attention-to-detail IDEC is known for. One feature that exemplifies this is an optional LED. It uses a unique light guide to give you a brighter and more noticeable status indicator from multiple directions.
Key features
  • RJ Slim GP Relay ideal for space saving application
  • Compact size: 12.7 x 27.0 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)
  • Highly visible Indicator LED using IDEC's unique light guide design
  • Green Non-polarized LED indicator complies to IEC standards
  • RoHS Complaint (2002/95/EC)
General Purpose Relays RU Series

The adaptable RU series are available in either 2 pole (DPDT) or 4 pole (4DPDT) models. Both RU2 and RU4 models have multiple standard features, including a non-polarized green indicator LED, a mechanical indicator flag, an easily accessible and replaceable marking plate, and a manual latching lever, coded orange/red for AC coil and green/blue for DC coil.

What sets the RU relays apart from other relays is the unique internal construction. There is no internal wiring, which means no weak solder points and a completely lead-free manufacturing process. The contacts are cadmium-free as well, making the RU relays environmentally-friendly. All RU relays are also manufactured by a totally automated assembly process which means the relay is of the highest quality because the possibility of human error has been eliminated during the manufacturing process.

IDEC has developed an innovative and simple method of identifying the RU series of relays. Several different colored marking plates are now available that can be used to replace the standard marking plate found on the top of the RU relay.

These marking plates are available in yellow (standard color), green, orange, blue or white. In addition, the marking plates can be further identified by using either a pencil or pen to write directly on them. You can, in effect, create your own customized label that is actually part of the relay. The marking plates are located on the top of the relay rather than on the socket.
In addition, IDEC has developed the RU relay with low signal switching bifurcated contacts. The RU42S model has a maximum contact rating of 3 amps 250V AC while maintaining a minimum switching load of 0.1mA @ 1V DC, allowing you to use this relay for all your dry circuit switching needs.

Key Features
  • RU2: DPDT, 10A (250V AC/30V DC)
  • RU4: 4PDT, 6A (250V AC/30V DC)
  • RU42: 4PDT bifurcated 3A (250V AC/30V DC) for dry contact circuits
  • Quality design - solder free construction (lead free)
  • Latching & momentary check button levers
  • Non-polarized green indicator LED & mechanical indicator flag standard
  • AC/DC color coded manual latching levers
  • Snap-on marking plates available in yellow (standard color), green, orange, blue or white for easy labeling & identification
  • Available in 12V, 24V, or 110V DC; 24V, 110-120V, 220-240V AC
General Purpose Relays RY/RM Series
The RY/RM series of relays satisfy applications for lower level switching needs such as pilot lights or logic level devices. The RY has standard gold plated contacts to prevent contact oxidation from affecting circuit continuity, while optional Palladium alloy bifurcated contacts reduce contact bounce and allow circuit switching in the micro-amp range.

Terminated with a standard footprint of blade plug-in terminals or with PCB pins, the RY/RM series fit into many competitors' sockets as well. Available in 4PDT or two different arrangements of DPDT: the RM2 uses the same socket as the RY4, but the RY2 is a true two pole relay that occupies half the width of the four pole. Available options include manual check buttons, LED indicators, or top flanged dust covers for direct surface mounting.
Key Features
  • High density, 4PDT in a package less than .840" wide
  • 4PDT and a "true" DPDT model
  • RY Series gold plated contacts standard, Palladium alloy bifurcated crossbar contacts optional for extremely low level applications
  • RM2 features fine silver 5A contacts
  • Blade plug-in or PCB terminals
  • Options include indicator light, check button, and top mounting bracket
  • Mounting options include top mounting, DIN socket, PCB socket, or panel mount socket
General Purpose Relays RH Series
Featuring the same contact ratings as the larger RR series, the RH series uses silver cadmium oxide contacts to help reduce voltage arcing. Available in 1 to 4 poles, with either .187" blade plug-in or PCB terminals, the RH series is known for going the distance. Options include manual check buttons, LED indicators, and top flange covers for direct surface mounting. All models carry worldwide approvals including UL, CSA, TUV and CE. Using a standard terminal arrangement, the RH series will plug into many competitors' sockets. In fact, since we private label sockets for so many companies, there is a good chance that the socket you are using was designed specifically for RH series relays.
Key Features
  • Compact midget size saves space
  • SPDT, DPDT, 3PDT, or 4PDT AgCdO contacts
  • High switching capacity (10A)
  • Choice of blade or PCB type terminals
  • Options include indicator light and check button
  • Mounting options include top mounting, DIN socket, or panel mount socket
General Purpose Relays RR Series

RR series relays provide reliable switching for industrial loads. Using pure silver contacts, they are rated up to 10A and 240V AC. Terminals are available in two styles, 8 or 11 pin tubular (octal) or .187" plug-in. Coil voltages range from 6VDC to 240VAC.

Carrying worldwide approvals including UL, CSA, TUV and CE marking (TUV and CE on tubular pin types only), they are ready to travel anywhere your application needs take them. Available options include manual check buttons, LED indicators, or side flange covers for direct surface mounting. When coupled with IDEC's high quality sockets, they form an unbeatable combination.

Key Features
  • High reliability and long service life
  • SPDT, DPDT, or 3PDT pure silver contacts
  • Available with octal (8-pin and 11-pin) or .187" blade plug-in terminals
  • Worldwide approvals on octal (8-pin and 11-pin) models: UL, CSA, TUV, CE
  • Options include check button for test operation and indicator light
  • Mounting options include flange mounting, DIN socket, or panel mount socket
