RELECO

Part numbering of RELECO relays series MRC, QRC, IRC

Basic identification principle (type designation code):

The white label placed on the underside of the relay has a very valuable information that allows you to clearly identify the relay.

C n(n) - T X y zz /…V Ref.nnnn

Normal industrial relay code "C" is a normal industrial relay code
Relays with code "R" are used for railway series.

Nominal coil voltage or current specification Nominal coil voltage or current specification
AC … V, DC … V, UC … V (AC/DC)
AC … A, DC … A
The relays are generally available for voltages of 6 V up to DC 220 V/AC 240 V (AC 400 V) or UC 6 up to 48 V.
This information is printed of the cover (front) of the relay or at the coil (for old relays).
Additionally, you can recognize the coil voltage by color of the lockable test button.
Current relays available on request.

Relays with a reference number are versions with special (e.g. customized) features.
These features may relate to special test criteria, tolerances or other properties.
Availability of such relays may be limited to certain customers or applications.

Codification of the lockable test button

RELECO relays have a manual test button with double function: press and interlock. (push: test; pull: lock).

The RELECO relays have five different colors of this lockable test button for an easier identification of coil voltage:

red button red standard: 230VAC
dark red button dark red: others AC voltages
grey button grey: universal current UC(AC/DC)
blue button blue standard: 24VDC
dark blue button dark blue: others DC voltage
orange button If you don't want to have the lockable function,
you can use the orange "orange-push button"
black button A black blanking plug is available
if you don't want a test button.

Product range
Releco offers a wide range of relay types and versions and associated bases and accessories.

Standard (general-purpose) relay, MRC series
35 x 35 mm round plug-in relay, 8 or 11 terminals multipole connector according to IEC 67 with 2 or 3 contacts up to 10 A and different contact types and contact materials.
Standard relay 35 x 35 mm with flat blade connectors with up to 4 contacts and up to 16 A with 3 contacts.

Miniature industrial relay, QRC series
21 x 28 mm series with up to 4 contacts and up to 10 A with 1 or 2 contacts.

Interface relay, IRC series
Overall width 13 mm with up to 2 electromechanical contacts, or fully electronic switches.

Special relays, remanence relays
While "normal" relays are monostable, i.e. they return to the idle state when the excitation is switched off, remanence relays are bistable, i.e. the current switching state is retained irrespective of the excitation.
Relays of this type are available in different versions.

Electronic relay, CSS series
In the IRC series different electronic DC or AC relays up to 3 A are available.
For AC relays a distinction is made between synchronously (zero crossing) and asynchronously switching versions.
For switching transformer loads we recommended using asynchronously switching semiconductor switches.
For incandescent lamp loads etc. synchronously switching switches are ideal for avoiding high switch-on currents.

Accessories
Suitable bases are available for the different relay series for DIN rail mounting or panel mounting.
In addition, retaining clips are available for the relays, some of which are included in the scope of supply.
Suitable bridges for cost-saving wiring in series are also available.
