Dayton 24EP11 Time Delay Relay Octal On Delay 24V AC/DC 10A
On-delay time delay relay with octal plug-in base, adjustable 3-second to 5-minute range, DPDT contacts rated 10 A at 240 V AC or 30 V DC, operating on 24 V AC/DC supply
- Adjustable timing from 3 sec to 5 min via potentiometer
- On-delay function suits sequencing and motor-start applications
- DPDT contacts switch 10 A at 240 V AC or 30 V DC
- Octal 8-pin plug-in base enables quick panel installation
- IP20 enclosed housing protects internal components in industrial environments
Application Fit
The Dayton 24EP11 is a single-function on-delay relay built for control panels and machinery that need a timed start sequence. It suits engineers wiring 24 V AC or DC circuits where an eight-pin octal socket is standard. Buyers who require multiple delay modes, a different pin count or a non-plug-in mounting style will need another device.
Thermal Noise Power
The enclosed IP20 housing dissipates heat from the 10 A contacts without forced airflow, so operation stays silent in typical cabinet environments. Coil draw at 24 V is low enough that the relay adds minimal load to the control supply during normal cycling. No external cooling or noise mitigation is required for standard duty cycles.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous 10 A loading at 240 V AC or 30 V DC the contacts remain within their rated limits for the full 3 second to 5 minute delay range. The potentiometer adjustment holds its setting without drift during long runs, and the sealed construction prevents dust ingress that could degrade switching reliability over time.

Questions about this item
How do I plug the 8-pin octal relay into the socket and which step is often missed?
Align the eight flat pins with the octal socket and push straight in until fully seated; the step often missed is verifying the coil voltage matches the 24 V AC/DC supply before applying power.
What maintenance or replacement will the relay need over time?
The sealed IP20 enclosure requires no routine maintenance; plan to replace the unit when the DPDT contacts no longer switch the rated 10 A at 240 V AC or 30 V DC reliably.
What limit appears first during continuous operation?
The on-delay timer tops out at 5 minutes, so any process needing a longer single delay will hit that maximum setting first.
