RT424009

Over 2 Amps

The RT424009 is a solid-state relay that is designed to switch AC loads up to 2 Amps. It is available in a standard DIN-rail mountable housing, making it suitable for industrial applications. The RT424009 features dual-channel operation with relay-level and voltage-level input. The relay offers both single-pole and dual-pole switching, and features three operating states: normally open, normally closed, and alternating single-pole switching.

Application Field:

The RT424009 application field is vast, some examples of the load the unit can switch includes heating elements, lighting, automation systems, and motor loads. It can also be used in-line with process control systems, laboratory equipment, transducer devices, power supplies, and motion control systems. Its power requirements are adaptable and the unit is suitable for low-cost power relay applications.

Working Principle:

The RT424009 works in the following way. When a load is connected to the relay, a photon is emitted from the diode and this photon is transferred to the contact of the relay. This changes the energy between the contact point of the relay and the diode. This process is what causes the contact point of the relay to switch when voltage is applied. When the contact is switched, the unit will send a signal to the load.

The RT424009 also relies on an internal thyristor to ensure that the unit is properly protected against current overshoot and voltage spikes. The switch time from open to closed state depends on the load and is typically between 10ms and 200ms. The RT424009 is designed to switch light loads, not heavy loads, and is not intended for use with electric motors.

Conclusion:

The RT424009 solid-state relay is an incredibly versatile unit that can be used for a variety of applications. It has a broad range of applications due to its dual-channel operation, and it is suitable for replacing more expensive conventional relays in any application. Its switching speed and current rating make it ideal for any load up to 2 Amps. It is also designed to protect against voltage spikes and overshoot, making it a reliable and safe option in many situations.
