Phoenix Contact RIF Series Interface Relay, DIN Rail, 24 V dc Coil, 4PDT

Do you need a versatile relay that offers flexible functionality? This 4PDT (four poles, double throw) relay from Phoenix Contact lets you control eight different outputs using one signal. When the relay module receives an electric current, its four poles switch from one contact to the other in each of the four circuits. Since this is a non-latching relay, the contacts return to their original normally open or normally closed positions when de-energised. Silver nickel increases the durability of the contacts and resists material transfer, extending the life of the relay.

• Coil voltage of 24 V DC

Phoenix contacts series of RIF2 power relay modules come pre-assembled with a push connection. They are considered to be electrical and mechanical devices. This type of relay can often be referred to as an electromechanical relay or an industrial switch. This RIF2 professional range is supplied with a base suppressor and retaining bracket that benefits from a universal plug-in design.

• Robust and hard-wearing

A relay is an electrical switch that is operated by electrical pulses, their primary function is to open and close a circuit. When power passes through a circuit, a relay switches position (usually from NC to NO) using an internal coil which generates a magnetic force. This force then holds the relay in a NO position, when the current is switched off the relay returns to the NC position. This function is what makes these non-latching relays perfect for push-button applications such as keyboards and micro-controller input buttons.

Non-latching relays support a range of signal characteristics, ranging from low voltage or current to high voltage or current and from DC to GHz frequencies.

When a latching relay operates its contacts, the relay holds its position, even when the supply of its operating coil has been disconnected. When a non-latching relay operates its contacts, the relay will reset automatically once the supply of its coil is disconnected through the internal spring mechanism.
