Power Relays, Over 2 Amps

The TX2SS-LT-24V-TH is an example of a type of power relay that comprises two individual switches that are connected by a common pole. It is designed to be used in applications that require switching of two components simultaneously and where the power requirement is greater than 2 amps. It is commonly used in consumer electronics, automation process control, and other applications requiring multiple current switching.

Design Features

The TX2SS-LT-24V-TH is a power relay, meaning it is designed to switch power from one circuit to another, and is rated for up to 24V and 2 amps of current. It features a rugged polycarbonate case that provides robust protection from outside elements, and includes a two-pole connection, providing for two separate switched states. The two poles are internally connected by a copper busbar, ensuring reliable contact and power delivery.

The switch contacts are rated for up to 800,000 switching cycles, and the relay has a short circuit rating of up to 40 amps. It includes a built-in LED indicator to alert the user to the current switch position, and its design allows for minimal leakage when off. It also has a long electrical life, with a rated contact resistance of 0.07 micro ohms.

Applications

The TX2SS-LT-24V-TH is suitable for a variety of commercial and industrial applications. It is commonly used in consumer electronics, including digital televisions, computer monitors, gaming devices, and music systems. It is also used in the automation process control industry, for applications such as automated vending machines. Furthermore, it is often used in home appliances, automobile electronics, and industrial-grade electrical equipment.

Working Principle

The TX2SS-LT-24V-TH works on the principle of magnetic attraction. When a current is applied to one end of the relay, it causes the armature of the relay to move, either opening or closing the switch, depending on the switch position. This action is accomplished due to the magnetic field produced by the current, which, when induced in the armature, causes it to move. This movement of the armature can be used to switch electrical power between two circuits.

The contacts of the relay close when a current is supplied, allowing electricity to be directed from one circuit to another. When the current is removed from the relay, the contacts open again, dissipating the electrical current and breaking the circuit. This switching action is useful for controlling other machinery or systems, as it allows one portion to be powered on while the other is being powered off.

Conclusion

The TX2SS-LT-24V-TH is a power relay designed for applications where a high current switching capability is required. With its rugged design and high switching ratings, it is suitable for use in consumer electronics, automation process control, and a variety of other applications. It works by using a magnetic field to move an armature, which can then be used to switch electrical power between two circuits. It is a reliable and efficient solution for these applications.
