8-pin octal relay socket for 12 V DC control
This SQUARE D 8501KPDR12V51 socket accepts a general-purpose octal relay with a 12 V DC coil and DPDT contacts rated at 10 A. It provides a secure 8-pin terminal base for panel or DIN-rail mounting in automation and machinery applications. The enclosed body measures 2.1 in deep by 1.4 in square and includes a mechanical flag indicator for quick status checks.
Replaces worn or damaged octal bases in existing
When an older socket shows cracked insulation, loose pins or a failed indicator flag, this unit restores reliable contact without rewiring the coil circuit. The jump is worth it if the original mounting footprint matches the 1.4 in width and the 8-pin round-pin layout is identical. No push-to-test button is fitted, so panels requiring that function will need a different model.
Handles 10 A loads at 277 V AC or 28 V DC
The contact rating supports 1/3 hp at 120 V AC and 1/2 hp at 240 V AC, giving headroom for small motor starters and solenoid valves. It runs out when the application demands higher coil voltages, push-to-test operation, or a different pin configuration such as blade terminals. Buyers needing multiple pole configurations or sealed IP-rated housings must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
What panel cut-out or DIN-rail spacing does the 8501KPDR12V51 socket require?
The socket body measures 2.1 in deep by 1.4 in high by 1.4 in wide; allow that clearance plus wiring room behind the panel.
Which step is most often missed when wiring the 8-pin round terminals on this relay base?
Insert each stripped wire fully into the correct round terminal and tighten the screw — loose or reversed pins cause intermittent contact.
When should the mechanical flag indicator be checked or the socket replaced?
Inspect the flag during routine maintenance; replace the socket if the flag sticks, contacts show pitting, or the 10 A rating is exceeded.
