MK2P-S-AC240

The MK2P-S-AC240 Series of power relays is an economical, reliable and easily applicable alternative to other devices, such as circuit breakers and fuses. As a power contactor, this series provides reliable switch control for applications, such as motor control and circuit protection in home appliances, audio/visual equipment, and office automation machines. This series is available in both DIN rail and screw mounting styles.

Application Field

The MK2P-S-AC240 power relays provide switching control for a wide range of applications. These devices are available in three different ratings—2A, 4A, and 6A—so that they can be used in applications such as home appliances, audio/visual equipment, and office automation machines. This series is designed to provide reliable performance for small-power applications needing over 2A of current reliably, quickly, and cost-effectively.

Working Principle

The MK2P-S-AC240 operates on a basic principle called “contact-coil-control”. This principle involves the use of an electromagnetic relay coil or solenoid which is energized when a control voltage is applied to the control terminals. This energization of the relay coil causes an armature to move along a raceway, and the armature makes the electrical contact(s) with the terminals. By changing the polarity of the control voltage, the armature can also be moved in the opposite direction, thus making or breaking the contact(s). In this way, the MK2P-S-AC240 can be used to control currents or switches.

The MK2P-S-AC240 comes equipped with built-in protection devices such as a surge/spike suppressing device, a transient suppressor, and transient voltage protection. These devices protect both the relay contacts and the circuits from being damaged by overvoltages. In addition, the MK2P-S-AC240 series devices come with a current limiting resistor and a silver-cadmium contact material, which provide reliable switching operation.

Conclusion

The MK2P-S-AC240 power relays offer an economical, reliable and easily applicable solution for small-power applications requiring over 2A of current. This series is available in several ratings to suit various applications, and its built-in protection devices provide reliable operation and circuit protection. With its wide range of application fields, the MK2P-S-AC240 power relays are a great choice for cost-effective switching control.
