They also extend to various household appliances where electromechanical relay control is required.

Ordering Information and Specifications

While ordering, specifications such as contact arrangement, terminal arrangement, and nominal coil voltage must be specified:

Contact arrangements come in 1 Form C, 2 Form C, or 4 Form C, including 4-pole bifurcated (twin) contacts.
The terminal arrangements include plug-in types, plug-in with LED indication, PC board types, PC board with LED indication, and TM types.
The coil voltage is available in AC and DC, with variations such as AC 6, 12, 24, 48, 100/110, 120/110/120, 200/200/220, 240/220/240, and equivalent DC options.

Contact Material Options

The relays feature two types of contact materials:

AgSnO2 type, a silver tin oxide material, is one option.
AgNi type, a silver nickel material, is another option provided.

Regulatory Compliance

All the variations of HC relays are compliant with RoHS, ensuring they meet the necessary restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
