RT314024
Overview
The RT314024 is a 16A power PCB relay from TE Connectivity Potter and Brumfield series, designed for high-current switching with a 24VDC coil. It features a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) configuration and provides 5kV/10mm reinforced insulation between the coil and contacts for enhanced safety. This compact through-hole relay is optimized for reliable switching in both industrial and domestic power control applications.
Why Choose This Part
The relay offers an excellent balance of size and power, capable of switching 16A while maintaining a slim 12.7mm width. Its 5kV/10mm reinforced insulation ensures high dielectric strength for safety-critical circuits, and its 85 degree C operating temperature makes it suitable for dense enclosures.

Key Specifications
Getting Started
When integrating this relay, ensure PCB trace widths are sized appropriately for the 16A load to prevent overheating. Use a flyback diode across the 24VDC coil terminals to protect sensitive driving electronics from inductive voltage spikes during de-energization.
