SR6B6K24

Power Relays, Over 2 Amps, SR6B6K24 Application Field and Working Principle

SR6B6K24 belongs to power relays range, able to support up to 6Amps of current. This relay type is a form of electromechanical switch which can be remotely trigger to switch an electrical circuit. It\'s widely used in the switching control for different levels of actuator, solenoid valve and contactor.

Relay Types

There are many different types of relays available on the market; the differences being in the type of electrical switch arrangement utilized and the purpose for which they are intended. There are two types of power relays mainly used including mechanical relays and solid-state relays. Mechanical relays have moving parts which use an electromagnetic coil to generate the switching action. The Solid-state relays do not have moving parts, and are operated either directly through a solid-state device such as a transistor or an optocoupler. They are more commonly used as higher voltage and power relays as the solid state device has an indefinite life expectancy.

SR6B6K24 Overview

The standard types of the SR6B6K24 relay have a contact rating of 6A @ 260VAC/28VDC, a contact resistance of less than 100mΩ and an insulation resistance of 1000MΩ min. They have a 4-pin octal base with a switchable internal auxiliary contact and also have an RF shielded terminal for EMC protection. The terminals has three positions for termination, labelled NO (Normally Open), NC (Normally closed) and C (Common). The power relays have a wide operating temperature range of -40C to 70C.

Working Principle of SR6B6K24

The working principle of the power relays is simple. When the coil is energized, it works like an electromagnet which attracts the movable contact. This causes the circuit to close, and when the coil is de energized the movable contact returns to its original position due to the reset force, opened the circuit. So when the voltage and the current applied to the relay outputs the appropriate voltage and current control signals. The SR6B6K24 power relays use both of these principles, although the main purpose of the SR6B6K24 is to control the level of actuator, solenoid valve and contactor.

Applications of SR6B6K24

The SR6B6K24 power relay has a wide range of applications and can be used to control various electrical devices such as lights, motors, solenoid valves, contactors, actuators and oil and gas pipelines. These relays are also used in the industrial sector for controlling and monitoring conveyor systems, printing presses, and other forms of manufacturing automation. In the home, the SR6B6K24 relays are typically found controlling lights, water heaters, motors, and HVAC systems.
