Relays keep it clean
The RU series of general-purpose relays from Idec Electronics has been designed to comply with the requirements of the WEEE Directive.
Background suppression for photoelectric switches
Idec Electronics are pleased to introduce background suppression types as an addition to its SA1E range of miniature photoelectric switches.
Slimline relay takes suppression diodes onboard
The RJ relay comes in single- or double-pole double-throw versions and has an ideal contact rating of 12A for the single-pole and 8A for the two-pole.
Different coloured marking plates have now been added which clip on to the top of the relay and can be marked with pencil or pen.
Use of colour and a personalised description means relay voltages, function or type can be viewed at a glance.
The RU relay has now been developed with low signal bifurcated switching contacts.
The RU42S has a maximum contact rating of 3A 250V AC but maintains a minimum switching load of 100uA 1V DC.
The WEEE (Waste in Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive calls for the removal or reduction of all hazardous material contained within electrical or electronic components.
With this new legislation in mind, the RU Series was developed and is completely lead and cadmium free.
Idec has for several years now used no ozone depleting chemicals either in its products or the manufacturing process.
Options As the RU Series has all the features built in as standard, the only choice that has to be made is to choose the voltage of the coil, 12, 24 or 110V DC, or 24, 110-120, 220-240V AC.
As part of the family Idec manufactures high quality, high reliability one-, two-, three- and four-pole relays and sockets.
