85100036

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps

The 85100036 relay is a power relay designed for applications that require up to 2 amps of power handling capacity. It is a medium-sized relay, measuring approximately 4” (101.6 mm) long x 3.5” (89 mm) wide when mounted in the mounting bracket included with the relay. The 85100036 is a DIN-rail mounted relay, with a mounting hole diameter of 5/16” (7.9 mm).

Application Field

The 85100036 can be used for a variety of general-purpose applications, including control of lighting, HVAC systems, motor speed control, automatic door openers, and various other industrial machine control applications. The 85100036 is UL listed, making it suitable for use in a wide range of commercial and residential settings.

Working Principle

The 85100036 operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, in which an electric field is created by a changing magnetic field when energized. This creates a current in a coil which induces a second current in another coil, activating the relay. The current in the second coil can then be used to switch and control multiple circuits. The 85100036 features an open and closed notch configuration, allowing for secure, positive locking of contacts in either state, and easy installation onto DIN-rails without additional mounting hardware.

The 85100036 features a durable, corrosion-resistant finish, along with a polarizing key that is designed to prevent accidental wiring in the wrong direction. The 85100036 also features a triple-wipe system that ensures long-term contact reliability, and a reduced switching time of 0.1 milliseconds. The 85100036 is also tested to both UL and VDE standards for superior safety and quality assurance.

The robust 85100036 is specifically designed for use in a wide range of applications, providing reliable contact ratings up to 2 amps. With its durable construction, easy installation, and long-term contact reliability, the 85100036 is an ideal choice for any application that requires up to 2 amps of power handling.
