RT424024
Overview
The RT424024 is a general-purpose through-hole relay featuring a DPDT (2 Form C) contact configuration and a 24VDC coil. Part of the Schrack RT2 series, it provides 14.2mA coil current and is designed with flux-proof sealing for reliable PCB mounting. It supports switching voltages up to 250VAC, making it suitable for both signal and power switching in compact footprints.
Why Choose This Part
The relay offers an 8ms operate time and 6ms release time, ensuring rapid response for control logic. Its flux-proof seal rating allows for standard soldering and cleaning processes on PCBs, while the 24VDC coil is compatible with common industrial power supplies. The compact DPDT design provides high switching density with multiple agency approvals including VDE and cURus.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
When designing for the RT424024, ensure the inclusion of a flyback diode across the coil to protect driving circuitry from inductive spikes. Verify that PCB trace widths for the contacts are sized for the intended switching current up to 250V. Refer to the footprint dimensions of 29mm by 12.7mm for proper layout on a standard 0.1-inch pitch prototype board or custom PCB.
