New 2-pole, Force-guided relays – The ultimate in safety and space savings

By Frank Tobe | April 10, 2014

IDECIn conjunction with the popular IDEC RF1V series of 4- and 6-pole relays, RF2 force-guided relays from IDEC give users even more choices by offering a new 2-pole option ideal for users only needing two contacts or wanting to add multiple relays in a series. These compact and slim relays provide added safety, while saving on cost and installation space.

Force-guided relays are key electromechanical switching components used as a failsafe within safety circuits to detect failures such as contact welding or damage to the contact spring. Often used in combination with elevator controls, interlock switches, light curtains and emergency stop switches, these relays are crucial in safety control applications. Fast response times combined with anti-shock properties mean these relays can be used safely in high shock and vibration environments. Compliant with international safety standards including EN50205 Type A TUV approval, UL, CSA and CE, RF2 force-guided relays are perfectly suited for safety-related applications including elevator door controllers and machine tools.

Choose from two terminal styles (socket and PC board mounting), and additional options including a built in LED indicator, an RTIII degree of protection and a counter-electromotive force. In combination with the SJ series of finger-safe sockets, RF2 force-guided relays provide reliable safety for man and machine in the event of a malfunction.
