Relays / Timers
Relays and Timers

Relays have formed the traditional building blocks of control since the 1950s and are still widely used for control or power conversion. Styles range from electro-mechanical or sold state relays to models rated for high power, hazardous locations, and monitoring, alternating, or timing functions.

Relays and timers provide basic control at a very affordable price and have been a viable automation method for decades. Our general purpose industrial relays are a low-cost way of adding simple control and isolation to any application.

  • Electromechanical relays use moving parts to close/open control circuits and are available in cube, open, and card styles for a diverse range of installation requirements
  • Optocouplers or optoisolators are used to physically separate circuits from one another but allow electrical signals to be transmitted between them using a light sensitive interface
  • Solid state relays don't rely on moving parts that can wear down over time and instead use semiconductor devices like photo-transistors to open or close a circuit
  • Specialty relays including phase monitoring, pump seal failure, and alternating relays are designed to perform specific functions that a basic relay can not
  • Standard timer relays and digital multifunction timer relays provide reliable timing for automated systems with several timing modes to choose from

Electro-Mechanical Relays

Electro-Mechanical Relays

Electro-mechanical relays receive an electrical input that magnetizes an internal coil, causing the relay's contacts to open or close. These relays serve a wide range of industrial applications and are available in a variety of styles to fit specific applications.

  • Slim interface relays
  • Force guided relays
  • General-purpose ice cube relays, plug-in style
  • General-purpose octal relays, plug-in style
  • Power relays, open style
  • Hazardous location (HAZLOC) plug-in relays
  • Slim/card relays

Components starting at
$5.00
(781-1C-24D)

Optocoupler Relays

Optocoupler Relays

Optocoupler relays provide electrical isolation between the control signal and the load.

  • Compact DIN rail mounting
  • Load voltages up to 250 VAC/48 VDC
  • Current ratings up to 10A
  • Model(s) with integrated LED display
  • MOSFET, transistor, or TRIAC output options

Starting at
$18.50
(52507)

LEARN MORE
Solid State Relays (SSR)

Solid State Relays (SSR)

Solid state relays use electronic components for switching a load, have no moving parts, and are ideal for applications requiring many/frequent contact closures. Models include general-purpose relays in panel or DIN rail mounting styles.

Starting at
$24.00
(GQ-15-24-D-1-3)

Phase Monitoring Relays

Phase Monitoring Relays

Newest Additions!

  • Dold VARIMETER series phase monitoring relays

Phase monitoring relays protect against equipment failure caused by faults in a 3-phase system, such as phase reversal, phase loss, phase unbalance, overvoltage, and undervoltage (select models also provide fault monitoring for single-phase applications).

  • Compatible with Wye or Delta systems
  • Range of voltage inputs
  • Provide protection even when regenerative voltages are present

Components starting at
$49.50
(PMRR-1C-480A-TL)

Voltage Monitoring Relays

Voltage Monitoring Relays

Newest Additions!

  • Dold VARIMETER series voltage monitoring relays

Voltage monitoring relays protect equipment from damage caused by faults in a DC or 1-phase AC system, such as overvoltage, undervoltage, or exceeding a voltage band.

These relays are available in a selection of voltage inputs; certain models offer fixed or adjustable drop-out protection.

Components starting at
$74.00
(VMR-2C-F-120A)

LEARN MORE
Alternating Relays

Alternating Relays

Alternating relays provide significant cost savings and vastly increase equipment life by equalizing the run time of two loads in redundant or lead/lag applications such as pumps, compressors, air conditioning, or refrigeration systems.

Components starting at
$30.50
(AR-1C-120A-TL)

LEARN MORE
Pump Seal Failure Relays

Pump Seal Failure Relays

The most common premature motor failures are caused by bearing issues due to lubrication loss and contamination ingress.

Pump seal failure relays save money by providing an alarm output when a leak is detected, alerting service personnel that routine maintenance is required to protect the motor from irreversible damage.

Components starting at
$59.00
(PSFR-1C-120A-TL)

LEARN MORE
Intrinsically Safe Relays

Intrinsically Safe Relays

Intrinsically safe relays provide a safe and reliable method to control up to four loads (motor starters, relays, etc.) with up to four input devices (switches, sensors, etc.) located in a hazardous area.

All models offer finger-safe design, LED status indicators, and DIN rail or panel mounting options.

Starting at
$96.00
(ISEUR1)

Timer relays

Timer Relays

Timer relays provide simple, cost-effective control of processes and machine tools.

  • Up to 30A contact ratings
  • Cyclic, multi-mode, flasher, off-delay, on-delay, fleeting, and/or on-interval operating modes
  • Socket, DIN rail, surface, and panel mounting options
  • Easy setup, in settings up to 10,000 hours

Starting at
$25.00
(T2L-ND-30-240U)

Multi-Function Digital Counters, Timers and Tachometers

Multi-Function Digital Counters, Timers and Tachometers

Versatile digital multi-function relay units are easily configured as a digital counter, timer, combination timer-counter, or tachometer. The two-color LCD shows values, settings, and setup parameters, easily set using the externally accessible DIP switches and the lockable keypad.

Starting at
$122.00

Relay and Timer Sockets

Relay and Timer Sockets

Relay sockets provide a quick and easy way to mount and wire relays on 35mm DIN rail or on a panel.

Starting at
$4.25
(782-4C-SKT)

Relay and Timer Accessories

Relay and Timer Accessories

Relay accessories include thermal pads, heatsinks with and without cooling fans, MOV and diode plug-in modules, bus bars, separator plates, relay jumpers and more.
