3-1617785-6

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps

3-1617785-6 relay is designed for heavy-duty applications requiring the switching of currents greater than 2 amps. It meets both UL and IEC safety standards and provides long-term, reliable performance over the lifetime of the application. 3-1617785-6 relay has been successfully incorporated in applications ranging from lighting control to industrial process control.

Application Field

3-1617785-6 relay is commonly used in a wide range of applications where a high current capacity relay is needed. These applications include lighting control, motor control, industrial processes, fire safety, and communication systems. The relay can also be used in HVAC, medical, and automation systems where it provides reliable operation under harsh operating conditions. In addition, 3-1617785-6 relay is suitable for use in outdoor applications such as floodlights, flood gates, and substation control.

Working Principle

3-1617785-6 relay is designed around a set of copper contacts mounted on a movable armature. The armature is held in place until an electric current passes through the coil, producing a magnetic field that lifts the armature and closes the contacts. Once the current to the coil is removed, the armature returns to its original position, thus opening the contacts.

The relay’s superior performance and reliability is based on high-quality materials, such as silver-plated contacts. The contacts provide superior contact resistance and low contact wear. The relay has a surge suppression circuit to protect the contacts from voltage spikes. The relay also has a set of insulation barriers, including insulation between the contacts and the coil, to prevent any accidental contact which could lead to an electric shock or system malfunction.

To ensure that the current to the coil does not exceed a specified limit, 3-1617785-6 relay is equipped with a current limiting feature. It is also designed with a thermal protection feature; when the relay’s temperature reaches a certain threshold, the contacts switch off and prevent any further operation.

3-1617785-6 relay can be used in several configurations, allowing it to be employed in a broad range of applications. The relay can be used as a single pole or double-pole double-throw (SPDT or DPDT) relay, allowing it to be used in circuits requiring the control of two independent loads. The relay is also available with multiple coils, allowing for the simultaneous control of multiple loads.

The 3-1617785-6 relay provides reliable, long-term performance and is suitable for a wide variety of heavy-duty applications. Its superior construction, advanced design, and high-quality materials ensure reliable performance in harsh operating conditions. With its insulation barriers, current limiting feature, and thermal protection, the relay provides dependable protection against electric shocks and system malfunctions.
