MKS3PI-5 DC12

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps

The MKS3PI-5 DC12 is a power relay designed for use in applications where the current exceeds 2 amps. It is a double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) relay that can be used to switch between two different power sources. This type of relay is typically used in equipment such as lighting systems and HVAC systems. The relay is typically activated by an external voltage source, typically a DC voltage source. This allows the MKS3PI-5 DC12 to be used for low-voltage and low-current control tasks.

The MKS3PI-5 DC12 is designed to be mounted on a panel with appropriate connectors. It is typically used in pairs, with one relay controlling the output of the other. This allows two different power sources to be switched without complex wiring or control systems. The relays are connected in a series circuit to provide a single control point for the switching process. This is important because it simplifies the overall wiring requirement and ensures that all relays are properly wired.

The MKS3PI-5 DC12 works by using a spring-loaded armature that is connected to a set of contacts in the relay body. When a voltage source is applied to the relay body, the armature is pulled in and the contacts close, completing the circuit and allowing power to be applied to the controlled device. When the voltage source is removed, the armature is forced outward and the contacts open, stopping the flow of power to the device. This makes the MKS3PI-5 DC12 ideal for use in applications where low voltage and low current control systems are needed.

The MKS3PI-5 DC12 is designed for reliability and durability in harsh industrial environments. It is rated for operation at temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C and can be used in humid and dusty environments. The contacts are also designed to last longer than standard contactors, offering added reliability for applications that require a longer service life. The MKS3PI-5 DC12 is also designed to be tamper-proof, reducing the risk of accidental activations.

The MKS3PI-5 DC12 is a reliable and dependable power relay that is designed for use in applications that require low voltage and low current control. The spring-loaded armature and contacts offer reliable switching performance, while the high temperature rating and tamper-proof design make it ideal for use in harsh industrial environments. With its easy installation and low-maintenance design, the MKS3PI-5 DC12 is an efficient and cost-effective solution for many different types of control tasks.
