MKS2PI-DC24

MKS2PI-DC24 is a power relay particularly designed for those applications that require a higher rated power than two amps. Emerging as the perfect replacement for ordinary relays in terms of size, better insulation, anti-vibration and low power consumption, this relay is used in power supplies, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and various load control applications like motor drives, pumps, mechanical brakes and motors.

MKS2PI-DC24 features a vast contactor assortment that can be categorized into two types of contacts – normally open and normally closed. Available in both pole and dual-pole, these contacts are used in power supply applications, motor drives, valves, UPS configurations, etc. in order to switch power from one circuit to another. The normally open contacts act as a switch, while the normally closed contacts protect the load from any back voltage surges.

A power relay like the MKS2PI-DC24 consists of an electromagnetic coil, operating mechanism and a contact block. When the current to the coil is applied, a magnetic field is generated which in turn actuates the armature. The armature is then attached to some type of lever or lever-like device and the contact block, which together pushes the contact points to form a closed or open circuit. By controlling the current to the electromagnetic coil, the contact points open or close. This makes the relay suitable for use in a variety of power-related applications.

MKS2PI-DC24 features a 10,000-cycle mechanical lifetime, making it highly reliable even if used including 10,000 operational cycles. It also has a high-frequency protection protection feature, making it suitable for use in high-frequency switching applications, such as UPS systems that are subjected to multiple switching cycles per second. MKS2PI-DC24 also has a surge protection circuit which works as a precautionary measure in the event of over voltage or short circuit events. This increases the protection against electric surges that can occur in the power lines.

MKS2PI-DC24 features a variety of designs meant for different applications. A vast range of force and voltage options are available, making the relay suitable for several different types of applications. The range includes those meant for basic loop control, those that can be used for direct current applications and others that have contactor elements that are individually current-limited and/or voltage protected.

So, MKS2PI-DC24 is a powerful relay suitable for a range of applications, with high-frequency protection, surge protection and a 10,000-cycle mechanical lifetime. The relay is available in several different designs and features for specific applications, and has most definitely emerged as the number one choice for many power supply, UPS and load control applications.
