When customers need high contact reliability, new RJ relays with bifurcated contacts are the answer!

 

Due to increase in demand of smaller machines and panels, slim RJ relays have made big gains in popularity recently, which makes it perfect timing to introduce our new bifurcated contact models in a space saving package. RJ22 relays are great as input devices for a variety of controllers including PLCs and Smart Relays used in the microprocessing industry.

 

The production of our slim type RY22 with twin contacts ended in 2009, but now, new IDEC RJ22 relays are available with low signal switching bifurcated contacts for increased contact reliability, reduced contact bounce and switching low currents and voltages (dry circuits). RJ22 terminations are not completely compatible to the RY22 terminals, but the specifications are almost identical. The RJ22 model has a maximum contact rating of 1amp at 250V AC, while maintaining a minimum switching load of 100uA 1V DC, allowing customers to use this relay for their dry circuit switching needs. With the shortest width on the market RJ bifurcated relays are durable, compact and available with plug-in or PCB terminals.

 

PLUG-IN TERMINAL

A non-polarized green LED indicator is available (except on the simple type), utilizing IDEC's unique light-guide structure to enable these relays to be identified by the illuminated green LED. Diode, reverse polarity diode, and RC circuits are also available with peak inverse voltages of 1000V.

 

PCB TERMINAL

Like the rest of the RJ family, RJ22 PCB bifurcated relays have been manufactured with attention to even the smallest details. Using our automated manufacturing technologies, an innovative design was utilitized in the internal construction of moving parts ensuring the highest-quality, reliable relays. This includes a unique return spring structure eliminating unneccessary weak points, allowing for increased electrical conductivity and longer service life. Both DPDT and DPST-NO contact configuration types are available in a flux-tight structure.

 

RJ Plug-in and PCB Terminal relays (with bifurcated contacts) are UL recognized, CSA certified, VDE approved and CE marked.

 

2-POLE SJ SOCKETS

Correlating sockets include multiple features for ease-of-use. Sockets can be DIN rail, panel mounted or PCB mounted. The DIN rail/panel mount socket can be ordered with IEC finger-safe terminals, where coil and contact terminals are on opposite sides of the socket. The PCB mount socket allows you to replace a relay without having to de-solder.
