240V DC On-Delay Timing Relay

The Dayton 2A562 is a single-function encapsulated timing relay designed for industrial electrical controls and automation. It provides an adjustable on-delay function with a potentiometer for setting delay times between 3 and 60 seconds. The unit operates on a coil voltage of 240V DC and accepts an input voltage range of 12 to 48V DC and 24 to 240V AC. It features SPST-NO contacts rated at 1 A for both AC and DC loads.

Sustained load behaviour and sealing

The relay is fully encapsulated, protecting internal components from dust, moisture and vibration during continuous operation. Screw-terminal connections ensure secure wiring that resists loosening under thermal cycling or mechanical stress. The contact rating remains stable at 1 A across the specified voltage ranges, supporting reliable switching in long-duty cycles without performance drift.

Replaces fixed-timer or non-encapsulated relays

This model upgrades installations that use non-adjustable timing relays or open-frame units vulnerable to environmental contamination. The adjustable 3 to 60 second range replaces multiple fixed-delay parts, reducing inventory complexity. The jump is worth it when a surface-mount, encapsulated relay with a wide AC/DC input range is required for panels where sealed construction and field-adjustable timing are both necessary.

Questions about this item

How much heat or power draw should I expect from the 240 V DC coil when the relay runs continuously?

The coil operates on 240 V DC with a 1 A contact rating; power consumption is the coil voltage multiplied by its nominal current, so expect modest heat during all-day operation.

Which wiring and supply items must I already have to install this square-base relay?

You need screw-terminal wire, a 240 V DC or 24–240 V AC source, and a surface-mount panel or DIN rail for the square encapsulated base.

Will the 3–60 second on-delay range work reliably with older 120 V AC control circuits I still use?

Yes, the input accepts 24–240 V AC, so legacy 120 V AC circuits fall within range and the potentiometer adjusts delay from 3 to 60 seconds.
