MKS2XTN-11 AC200 Datasheet/PDFPower relays are electronic components that allow for the switching of circuits. The MKS2XTN-11 AC200 is a type of power relay designed for applications with currents of more than two amps. Basically, they are able to convert an electrical signal, such as one from a digital circuit, into a changing mechanical force that, in turn, can be used to control another circuit.
MKS2XTN-11 AC200 is mainly composed of a coil, a relay contact, a disconnect switch, and an LED. The coil is typically a ferrite core, which is steadily supplied with electricity. The relay contact is a contactor which is connected to the coil. When the coil is energized, the contact closes and sends an electrical signal to the circuit it is connected to. Then the LED lights up to indicate the operation of the relay. When the coil is de-energized, it will open the contact and make the LED turn off.
This power relay is suitable for applications that require switching between high currents. For example, it is used to switch on and off large electric motors, switch lights in alternating current (AC) systems, and send signals between different parts of the system. It is also applicable to home automation devices, such as temperature, lighting, and security systems.
The MKS2XTN-11 AC200 is easy to integrate into most circuits. With its small size, mounting it in the right place should not be too difficult. In addition, it requires low energy and provides reliable performance and long life in its applications. It has a low-power consumption of less than three mA and a maximum contact voltage of 500V.
The working principle of this power relay is quite simple. When the power supply is connected to the coil, a magnetic force is generated. This force actuates the contact arm to close the contact, allowing electricity to flow through the relay. When the power supply is disconnected, the magnetic force disappears, the contact arm relaxes and the contact opens.
In conclusion, the MKS2XTN-11 AC200 is an effective and reliable power relay for applications with more than two amps switching. Its compact size and low-power consumption make it well-suited for many applications, ranging from home automation systems to industrial motors. By using this power relay, it is possible to reduce the complexity, cost, and size of the circuits.
