12v Relay

[uksparks]

Hi,

I think I asked this before, but have a 12v alarm output that I want to switch a 230v load.

Can you get a din rail mounted relay or Contactor?

 

[telectrix]

yes. next?

 

[uksparks]

I presumed you could get them, are there any that are more preferred?

 

[telectrix]

ones that work are preferred.

Just walk into your wholesalers, I will be flabergasted if they do not have one on the shelf.

Standard din rail mount 8 pin relay base and a standard 8 pin relay with 12V coil.
Any wholesaler will have them, if they don't then find a proper wholesaler!

Remember you need a 12v contactor, as you can not run 230v through a panel relay

Why not? If the relay has a 12V coil and 240V switch contacts what's the issue?

Because the relay mounted on the alarm pcb, needs to conform to selv, must be kept at alarm voltage potential.
A separate boxed relay must be used

Yes, any idiot knows that, but the OP was specifically asking for a relay to put in a seperate enclosure. Your post suggested that a relay was unsuitable and it had to be a contactor.

Suggest read the thread again....any idiot..? why ask the question.....? A relay and a contactor are the same thing....there is no difference between the two...?
