MK3PN-5-S-AC50

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps, provide solutions for a variety of switching applications. The MK3PN-5-S-AC50 from Panasonic Electric Works Corporation of America is an example of a such a relay. This particular device is designed for use with a coil voltage of 5 V DC. It has a rated insulation voltage of 250 V AC, and a service life of 50,000 operations. It is rated for resistive loads of up to 5A, as well as inductive loads of up to 2A.

The MK3PN-5-S-AC50 is based on the principle of an electromagnet, where a current passing through a coil creates a magnetic field that attracts a movable armature. This armature is attached to a contact, which is used to close an electrical circuit when the armature is pulled into contact with it. When the current to the coil is switched off, the magnetic field dissipates, and the armature returns to its rest position.

The MK3PN-5-S-AC50 is generally used in applications where a relatively high power, but low current, is needed. Typical applications include switching and controlling motors, solenoids, and power tools, as well as other applications where it is necessary to accurately control and switch between two or more electrical circuits. Unlike other types of relays, the MK3PN-5-S-AC50 also features a voltage clamping mechanism that helps to protect the relay from transient voltages.

The MK3PN-5-S-AC50 is a highly reliable and versatile device, and is designed to be used in a wide range of applications. It is suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor environments, and offers a wide variety of mounting options, including in-line and panel-mounting. Thanks to its self-clamping feature, the MK3PN-5-S-AC50 is particularly suited for use in applications that require frequent switching, such as those found in automation systems or process control.

When selecting a relay, it is important to consider both the application requirements, and the environment in which the relay will be used. Due to its wide range of features and excellent electrical performance, the MK3PN-5-S-AC50 is an excellent choice for a variety of applications, including those requiring high power, switching accuracy, and low current. This reliable, versatile relay is an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
