RU Series
RU Series — General Purpose Relays
Key features of the RU series include:
• Non-polarized LED indicator standard
• Solder-free construction (spot welded, no solder points, lead-free)
• No internal wires
• Mechanical flag indicator standard
• Manual latching lever with color coding for AC or DC coil
•Available without latching lever (or with momentary check button)
• Snap-on marking plate standard
• Cadmium-free contacts - RoHS compliant
• Color coded coils for visual distinction
• Contact rating 6A: 4PDT
