Overview

The RT314005 is a high-capacity power relay from the Schrack RT1 series, featuring a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) configuration. Designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards, it is capable of switching loads up to 16 A at 400 VAC, making it suitable for high-power switching in a compact footprint.

Why Choose This Part

This relay offers a high switching capacity of 6400 VA within a standard 12.7 mm wide package. The 5 VDC coil is compatible with common logic-level drivers, while the flux-proof sealing protects the internal components during the wave soldering process.

Applications

Appliance Control
Switching heating elements and motors in domestic white goods.
Lighting Automation
Controlling high-inrush lighting circuits and ballast loads in smart home systems.
Industrial I/O
Interfacing low-voltage logic to high-voltage actuators in PLC output modules.
HVAC Systems
Managing fan speeds and compressor cycling in climate control units.

Getting Started

To drive the 80.6 mA coil from a microcontroller, use a logic-level NPN transistor or MOSFET such as a 2N7002 along with a flyback diode. Ensure PCB traces are appropriately sized for the 16 A maximum contact current to manage thermal rise.

Also Consider

RT314012 TE Connectivity - Identical physical footprint and 16 A contact rating but with a 12 VDC coil for automotive or industrial power rails.
