QL Series Electromechanical
Relay Selection Guide
QL series relays are general purpose relays designed for a wide range of applications, from
power to sequence controls in various factory machines and control panels. They are ideal
for electric control panels requiring stable and reliable relays.
Features
• Small package design
• ARC Barrier equipped
• Silver Cadmium Oxide contact
• High dielectric strength (1,800 VAC)
• High reliability and long life
• Ultra-high sensitivity with quick response
time (25 ms max.)
• High vibration and shock resistance
• Order sOcket separately
For the latest prices, please check AutomationDirect.com.
• LED indicator on all models, so you can
easily see if relay is working properly
without using a voltmeter
• Diode protection available on 24 VDC
models, which protects contacts and
electronic components from back EMF
• UL recognized, CE certified, CSA approval
pending
• DPDT and 4PDT models
