Omron Socket General Purpose Relay, 24V Coil, 10A Switching Current, 3PDT

Omron MKS Series General Purpose Relay, 24V Coil Voltage, 10A Switching Current - MKS3PI DC24

This general-purpose relay is designed for control and switching tasks within industrial automation and electrical systems, providing multi-contact switching capability for AC and DC circuits. It operates from a 24V DC Coil and is intended for use with plug-in sockets in panel and control-cabinet assemblies, meeting common international safety and environmental standards.

Features and Benefits:

• 3PDT contact arrangement for simultaneous multi-circuit switching
  Silver-alloy contacts supporting 10 A switching current at 250V AC
  250V DC switching capacity enabling DC load control up to 150 W
  Coil resistance 430 Ω delivering defined drive characteristics at 24V
  Low Coil consumption of 1.4 W reducing driver power requirements
  Plug-in Terminal style for Rapid replacement and straightforward maintenance

Applications

• Suitable for motor-control interlocks in automation panels
  Ideal for switching DC loads in battery-backed systems
  Used for signal routing in control-logic racks
  Can be used for load-shedding and relay-based protection schemes

What temperature range can it operate within?

It functions reliably between -40 °C and 60 °C, covering common industrial ambient conditions.

How does the contact resistance affect performance?

A contact resistance of 100 mΩ minimises voltage drop across closed contacts, aiding low-loss switching for moderate currents.

What mounting method is required for installation?

The device fits into a compatible socket-mounting system with plug-in terminals for tool-free removal.

Which approvals support deployment in regulated systems?

It conforms to IEC, UL and RoHS standards permitting use where those approvals are mandated.
