6-1617784-5

Power Relays, over 2 Amp

Relays, also known as contactors, are used to open, close, and control circuits. Commonly used in automation and process control applications, they are typically installed in areas with potentially high-energy or hazardous environments, making them important components of large installations as well as power grids. The 6-1617784-5 relay is a heavy-duty type of relay with a rating of over 2 Amp.

Application Field

The 6-1617784-5 relay is designed for rugged industrial uses. Its rugged mechanical construction makes it suitable for mission-critical applications, and it is also ideal for applications with alternating or sinusoidal currents. Applications for the 6-1617784-5 relay range from controlling high-voltage electrical networks to controlling uninterruptible power supplies and controlling cranes and hoists.

Working Principle

The 6-1617784-5 relay is activated by an electromagnet, which causes a set of internal contacts to close or open, depending on the type of relay. When the electromagnet is energized, an electric current is passed through the coil, creating a magnetic field. This magnetic field attracts a retractable armature, which causes the contacts to close or open. When the current is stopped, the armature is released and the contacts open or close once more, depending on the type of relay.

The 6-1617784-5 relay can be used to control a wide range of devices and systems. By connecting an electrical circuit to the coil, the relay can be used to control a variety of devices, including electrical motors, process control systems, and pumps.
