FUNCTIONAL DEVICES INC / RIB RIB01BDC Dry Contact Input Relay Spdt 20a@277vac

Functional Devices RIB01BDC enclosed pre-wired relay is used in electronic & electrical systems to automate & control circuits. It comes pre-wired in a protective enclosure, simplifying installation. It is used in industrial machinery, automotive applications and automation systems to enhance efficiency by enabling remote or automated control of electrical devices.

Working Mechanism:

• The relay operates through an electromagnetic mechanism.
• When a voltage of 120V AC is applied to its coil, it creates a magnetic field, causing internal contacts to move.
• In the default state, the common terminal is connected to the normally closed terminal.
• Upon coil activation, the contacts swiftly switch, linking the common terminal to the normally open terminal.
• This mechanism controls the electrical connection to the load, like motors or fans, facilitating automation.

Features:

• It features surface mounting for easy installation & quick setup in various applications.
• This relay comes with wire lead connections, streamlining the installation process.
• It has an SPDT contact form for versatile switching capability, enhancing adaptability in control applications.
• It has a 1.8-second response time to enhance the relay's efficiency in rapidly changing conditions.
• It includes an LED indicator for providing visual confirmation of operational status.
• It offers a NEMA 1 enclosure and an enclosed design to enhance reliability by protecting internal components from environmental factors.
