MKS3P-5 AC24

Power relays come in many forms and sizes and are used for a variety of electrical applications. The MKS3P-5 AC24 is a power relay specifically designed to switch current loads of up to 2 amps in either AC or DC circuits. The MKS3P-5 AC24 is a three pole single throw (SPST) contactor that can be used for a variety of switching applications.

The MKS3P-5 AC24 is constructed using an encapsulated copper coil and insulated contacts. This combination of materials allows for reliable performance under varying environmental conditions. The main components of the contactor are two actuating arms (one for each pole) and a contactor arm. The coil is a 12VAC/DC single turn rated at 20 watts.

The MKS3P-5 AC24 is typically used in applications where a single contactor is needed to switch on or off a current load. It is commonly used in HVAC, automotive, and white-goods applications. The MKS3P-5 AC24 is able to switch any load from 5 Amps to 2 Amps. Typical applications include motor starters, remote-controlled lighting, and on/off switching for safety circuits.

The working principle of the MKS3P-5AC24 is relatively simple. When an AC voltage is applied to the contactor coil, an electromagnetic field is generated that pulls the actuating arm against the contactor arm. This action closes the contact to complete the circuit and allow current to flow. When the voltage is removed from the coil, the magnetic field dissipates and the actuating arm is released which causes the contactor arm to open the circuit and disconnect the current flow.

The MKS3P-5AC24 is designed to be used in a wide range of applications where control of up to 2 amps is required in either AC or DC circuits. It is easy to install and maintain, highly reliable and offers a wide variety of switching options. With its robust construction and reliable performance, the MKS3P-5AC24 is an excellent choice for a wide array of electrical switching needs.
