LY2Z-DC24

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps

The LY2Z-DC24 is a power relay designed for use in electronic and electrical equipment with higher current requirements than traditional relays. The relay can switch plug top AC and DC loads up to two amperes and can be used in a variety of applications.

Design Features

The relay has a two-pole double throw operation, which allows it to switch between two different AC/DC loads. It also includes a locking armature mechanism, providing reliable device maintenance and device safety during operational use. The design also includes a built-in zero-crossing protection feature, which allows it to detect and switch over to the proper voltage before the voltages reach their peak.

Technical Specifications

The LY2Z-DC24 is rated to switch voltages up to 24V AC/DC and currents up to 2A. It is also UL, CSA and VDE approved, which makes it suitable for many applications in the US, Canada and Europe. It includes a contact gap of ≤ 2.5mm, an operating temperature range of -40 to 105°C and a dielectric strength of 4000VAC. It also comes with an over-current protection, which allows the relay to function without damaging other components.

Application and Uses

The LY2Z-DC24 power relay can be used in a variety of electronic and electrical equipment. It is often used in automotive, home appliance and industrial control systems, as well as in safety and alarm systems. It can be used to switch on/off power sources, turn on/off lighting, and control motors, fans and pumps. It can also be used for alternating and selective circuit switching.

Working Principle

The relay works using an electromagnet, which is triggered by an electric pulse. The electric pulse generates a magnetic field which attracts the armature, which in turn activates the switch. The switch remains in the ‘on’ position until the electric pulse ceases, which causes the armature to be released again and the switch to revert to the ‘off’ position.

Conclusion

The LY2Z-DC24 power relay is designed to control AC and DC loads up to two amperes in applications requiring higher current than standard relays. It is UL, CSA and VDE approved and includes locking armatures as well as zero-crossing protection for reliable and safe operation. It can be used in a variety of electronic and electrical equipment and is suitable for automotive, home appliance and industrial control systems.
