MK3P5-I-AP3 AC120

Power relays are used in many industries as a cost-efficient and reliable form of electrical switching. The MK3P5-I-AP3 AC120 power relay is a modern, upgraded version of the traditional MK3P5 AC110 relay. This versatile device offers improved operating performance and reliability, making it a competitive choice for those in need of a robust power relay.

The MK3P5-I-AP3 AC120 power relay consits of two main parts – the relay coil and the switch contactor. The relay coil is the electromagnet part that is energized when the relay is switched on. Once energized, the coil creates a magnetic field which moves an armature and armature spring. The armature movement pushes the movable contact against the stationary contact, creating a complete circuit and switching the power circuit on or off.

The MK3P5-I-AP3 AC120 power relay is rated up to 17A and 250VAC, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including motor control, HVAC systems, lighting, accessories, and more. It has a nominal working current of 7A, though it can handle higher assignment demands. The relay is equipped with an arcing prevention device to ensure electrical safety, and it has a sensitive gesture-activated lock out and reset mechanism to avoid accidental operation.

The MK3P5-I-AP3 AC120 power relay also has an in-built protection mechanism which disrupts current flow if too much current is drawn. This is done by interrupting the magnetic field created by the energized coil, thereby preventing the flow of current through the switch contactor. This feature ensures the life of the relay stays long and that it performs reliably.

The MK3P5-I-AP3 AC120 power relay is also designed to have a long service life and low interference. Its contact point is highly resistant against arcing and surface corrosion, guaranteeing reliable operation. Additionally, the relay is equipped with noise suppression technology to ensure that it does not interfere with other devices within its proximity. This is especially important for applications used in populated locations.

In summary, the MK3P5-I-AP3 AC120 power relay is a versatile and high-quality solution for any application that requires a robust and reliable switching solution. Its sensitive gesture-activated lock out and reset mechanism ensures that it remains secure against accidental operation, while its arcing prevention device and noise suppression technology guarantee a long service life and low interference. It is a cost-efficient, reliable switch option for any application requiring a secure power switch.
