- Adjustable 0.05 to 5 second range covers a wide timing span
Single-Function On-Delay Relay
The Dayton 24EP20 is a single-function on-delay time relay designed for industrial control circuits that require a simple, adjustable delay before energising a load. It plugs into an octal socket for quick installation and replacement in machinery panels.
Thermals Noise and Power Draw
The enclosed IP20 housing dissipates heat from the 10 A contacts during normal operation without forced airflow. Coil power consumption at 240 V AC is low, so the unit runs silently and adds minimal load to the control transformer.
Adjustable Delay Range 0.05 to 5 Seconds
A front-mounted potentiometer sets the on-delay anywhere between 0.05 and 5 seconds, making this relay suitable only for applications that fit within that narrow timing window. Buyers needing longer delays or multiple timing functions must choose a different device.

Questions about this item
How do I install the octal plug-in relay and what step do people miss?
Insert the 8-pin relay into a compatible octal socket wired for 240V AC coil voltage, then set the potentiometer between 0.05 sec and 5 sec; the step often missed is confirming the socket contacts match the DPDT contact form before applying power.
What maintenance or replacement will the relay need over time?
The enclosed IP20 unit has no user-serviceable parts; plan to replace the entire relay when the 10 A contacts show wear from repeated switching at 240V AC or 30V DC.
What limit appears first during continuous operation at full load?
The 10 A contact rating at 240V AC is the limiting factor; sustained currents above this level will cause contact degradation before any other parameter is reached.
