Class I Division 2 approval makes RV8H Relays perfect for use in hazardous locations!

IDEC is expanding our relay selection by introducing new 6mm RV8H interface relays with a UL listed Class I Division 2 Groups A, B, C, and D (C1D2)/Class I Zone 2 rating designed specifically for use in hazardous locations.

 

Our new C1D2 RV8H interface relays are well-suited for controls used in applications such as oil and gas equipment, panel building, refineries, painting and mixing chambers, mining, water and waste water treatment, and other hazardous locations that may require a 6-amp switching capability in a compact space.

 

Corresponding SV1H series sockets are UL listed for Class I Division 2 hazardous locations and are available with spring clamp terminations or traditional screw terminations. With a socket height of only 70mm from the DIN rail, our terminals are low profile, providing a compact solution for general purpose relay and socket requirements including those requiring miniaturization of machines and panels. Not to mention, installation time is greatly reduced with the Spring clamp terminals.

 

As with all IDEC products, these relays have undergone rigorous quality control testing and contain only the highest-quality materials. Gold-plated contacts, for low level switching, are standard with a maximum of 6A switching loads. Operating temperatures range from -40 to +70° C for up 60V AC or DC. Plus a wide input voltage ranges from 6 to 240V means we have something for everyone!

 

Replacement relays and sockets are also available. Optional accessories include jumpers, spacers and marking plates to facilitate wiring and quick identification.

 

These new RV8H relays are just one of several hazardous location products IDEC will be introducing this year. Keep an eye out!
