Modular Relays Offer Advantages

May 1, 2006
The C12 interfacer is a 2-pole changeover contact relay used for linking PC or PLC logic to machine operations. C12 interfacer relays offer numerous advantages over conventional block, module terminal strip or socket I/O products that require hours of wiring and potential downtime if a relay fails or needs to be replaced, says the vendor.

The C12 interfacer provides a modular solution with a universal socket to allow both input and output relays with various voltages to be positioned on a DIN rail and replaced individually as needed. The relays also feature a built-in surge suppressor that eliminates the need to specify separate relays for AC and DC applications. C12 interfacer relays are industrial grade plug-in relays with rugged blade terminals that won’t easily bend or break and feature push-to-test and pull-to-lock latches for trouble-free testing.
