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.

Applications

White Goods Control
Switching heating elements, motors, and pumps in household appliances in accordance with IEC 60335-1 safety standards.
Smart Home Automation
Controlling lighting circuits and power outlets within smart building infrastructure due to its high 16A switching capacity.
Industrial Logic Controllers
Acting as an output interface for PLCs to drive heavy AC or DC loads while maintaining galvanic isolation.
Boiler and HVAC Systems
Managing temperature control loops where reinforced insulation and high ambient temperature ratings are required.
