ALE15F18

Power Relays are widely used in various electrical circuits for power control and switching purposes. Under the category of power relays, there are different sizes of relays that provide various advantages depending on the application. The ALE15F18 Power Relay falls in the Over 2 Amps category and is most suitable for larger currents.

The ALE15F18 is a compact, single-pole, or single-phase power relay with sealed contacts. It has an insulated case and comes with or without a snubber, and is particularly suitable for both AC and DC switching systems. The ALE15F18 Power Relay provides a good transfer of power and has a long service life, due to its strong contact material.

It is most suitable for controlling larger current loads, such as motors, solenoids, and actuators. The ALE15F18 is also capable of handling a wide range of applications, from high-temperature environments and rugged applications to low-cost, high-reliability systems.

The ALE15F18 Power Relay also features a DC coil operating voltage range of 5-220 VDC, and an AC coil operating voltage range of 110-450 VAC. The relay can switch loads up to 10 to 16 A. It has a contact capacity of 16A/7.5kW and is UL rated at 440 V.

The working principle of the ALE15F18 Power Relay is quite simple - it uses an electromagnetic coil to move a mechanical armature that opens and closes the contacts. When power is applied to the coil, the armature will be attracted and close the contacts. When the power is removed, a spring will return the armature to its original position and the contacts will open.

The relay\'s switching time depends on the load current, the relay type, and the amount of time the coil is energized. Generally speaking, a larger coil will increase the switching speed and provide more reliable results. The contact and coil ratings must be chosen carefully to ensure the relay will not be overloaded.

In summary, the ALE15F18 Power Relay is a reliable and cost-effective choice for controlling larger current loads. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, from high-temperature to low-cost systems, and has a long service life due to its strong contact material. This relay is easy to use and provides smooth power switching.
