40 A 24 V DC Power Relay
This surface-mount relay switches loads up to 40 A at 300 V AC or 28 V DC with a 24 V DC coil. It is intended for control panels that need a single normally-open contact set in industrial and commercial equipment.
Four-pin screw-clamp wiring frees PCB space
Screw-clamp terminals accept ring or fork lugs directly, so no soldering or plug-in socket is required. The 2.5 in square footprint and 2.3 in height suit standard enclosure depths while leaving room for adjacent DIN-rail devices.
Silver cadmium oxide contacts handle motor loads
The contact material supports 2 hp at 120 V AC and 2 hp at 240 V AC, making the relay suitable for air-handling, elevator and HVAC circuits. No status indicator is fitted, so external monitoring must be added if visual confirmation is required.

Questions about this item
How much current can the contacts carry continuously at 28 V DC?
The relay is rated for 40 A at 28 V DC, so that is the continuous current limit under sustained use.
How hot does the coil get when energised at 24 V DC all day?
The coil is designed for continuous 24 V DC operation; the silver-cadmium oxide contacts and open-frame design dissipate heat without a status indicator.
What mounting hardware is required to install this relay?
The relay uses a surface-mount style with screw-clamp terminals, so you need a flat panel and screws to secure the 2.5 in by 2.5 in base.
