Maximum Current | This is the maximum continuous current allowable across the relay output terminals under the specified heat dissipation and ambient temperature conditions. Generally, AC current is specified in RMS units. Maximum current is also known as the maximum switching voltage range, or the maximum switching current. | ||

![]() | ||
Relay Configuration | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Single Channel | Capable of accepting only one NC input. When used in safety circuits they are unable to detect a short circuit failure or a failure of the monitored input to change state. | ||
Dual Channel | Ensures safety system integrity even if one logic circuit fails. Capable of accepting two inputs; one to each of its two, redundant self-monitoring safety circuits. Capable of detecting wiring faults or a failure of one of the monitored inputs to change state. | ||
Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

DIN Rail | The relay is equipped with a fastener that can attach to a DIN rail. | ||
Panel | The relay can be mounted in or on a panel. | ||
PC Board | The relay can be mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB). | ||
Socket or Plug-in Style | The relay can be mounted in a socket or on a printed circuit board (PCB). | ||
Other | Other unlisted mounting styles. | ||

Safety Ratings and Approvals | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Category / Type 1 | Loss of function may occur after a single fault. Devices are designed after well-established components and principles. | ||
Category / Type 2 | Loss of function may occur if a fault appears between two test cycles. | ||
Category / Type 3 | The safety function is maintained in case of a single fault. | ||
Category / Type 4 | The safety function is maintained in case of multiple faults. | ||
Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
