G6C-2117P-US-DC3

Power relays are commonly used to control electrical equipment remotely by the use of an electrical signal. The G6C-2117P-US-DC3 is a popular power relay designed to handle a wide range of switching applications over 2 Amps.

This high-capacity relay is available in a range of options to suit individual needs, including several amperage ratings and universal AC/DC operational voltage options. The G6C-2117P-US-DC3 is UL certified, RoHS compliant, and meets TUV requirements for electrical safety and performance.

The G6C-2117P-US-DC3 can operate in temperatures ranging from -30°C (~ -22°F) to +70°C (~158°F). Its ability to handle higher current spikes, along with a longer known switching life of 10 Million operations, make it a great choice for applications where shocks or surges may be a factor. It is also relatively lightweight at 28.5 grams.

Typical applications for the G6C-2117P-US-DC3 include motor controls, motor starting, and other industrial switching applications with a high current and long life cycle. This power relay is designed to handle larger and more frequent switching operations than can be found in a standard relay, and provides a safe, reliable switching mechanism.

The working principle of the G6C-2117P-US-DC3 is based on the electromagnetism between the coil side of the relay and the contact side of the relay. When the power is applied to the coil side, a magnetic field is generated, which attracts the contact side open (or closed) and allows current to flow through the circuit. When the power is removed, the contacts open again. This process is repeated each time power is applied or removed for the duration of the life of the relay.

Other features of the G6C-2117P-US-DC3 include a double-side wiping contact structure, low magnetic flux spread, and anti-corona coating for superior performance. The contact ratings for the G6C-2117P-US-DC3 are 277VAC or 30VDC, 2A, and 5A, depending on the amperage rating.

The G6C-2117P-US-DC3 is a great option for high current applications and its UL, RoHS, and TUV certifications make it a secure and safe choice. With its wide range of options and features, it is easy to see why the G6C-2117P-US-DC3 is a popular choice for power relays over 2 Amps.
