RU Series Relays Product Enhancements

IDEC Corporation is proud to announce several enhancements to our popular RU series of general purpose relays.

 

Marking Plates

 

Based on customer demand for a way of distinguishing various relays in a control panel, IDEC has developed an innovative and simple method of identifying the RU series of relays. Several different colored marking plates are now available that can be used to replace the standard marking plate found on the top of the RU relay.

 

These marking plates are available in yellow (standard color), green, orange, blue or white. In addition, the marking plates can be further identified by using either a pencil or pen to write directly on them. You can, in effect, create your own customized label that is actually part of the relay. The marking plates are located on the top of the relay rather than on the socket. This makes it extremely easy to see and write on the plate. Use the colored marking plates and/or personalized descriptions to differentiate between relay voltages, function or type. The marking plates are made of a durable and long-lasting PBT resin material and are easily interchangeable.

 

Bifurcated Contacts

 

In addition, IDEC has developed the RU relay with low signal switching bifurcated contacts. The RU42S model has a maximum contact rating of 3 amps 250V AC while maintaining a minimum switching load of 100µA 1V DC, allowing you to use this relay for all your dry circuit switching needs.

 

Other Features

 

What continues to set the RU apart from other relays is that there is no internal wiring, which translates into no weak solder joints and a completely lead-free manufacturing process. Moreover, the contacts are cadmium free, making the RU relays environmentally friendly.

 

IDEC takes pride in its advanced manufacturing processes, being a global leader with a 100% full automatic robotic assembly for the RU relays. Nothing compares to IDEC's manufacturing quality
