FAQ - E5_C Series - Compatibility of Relay Output with AC and DC loads

Modified on Tue, 4 Feb at 3:58 PM

Q: Can the Relay output on E5_C Temperature Controllers Series handle both AC and DC voltage, even if the datasheet doesn't explicitly state it?


A: Yes, the dry relay output on the specified temperature controllers can accept both AC and DC voltage, even though it is not explicitly mentioned in the datasheet. The relay is rated for:

  • 3A at 30VDC (resistive load),
  • 3A at 250VAC (resistive load).

Additionally, the relay's specifications include:

  • Electrical life: 100,000 operations under specified conditions.
  • Minimum applicable load: 5V, 10mA (reference value).

This versatility makes the relay suitable for a range of applications requiring AC or DC control within the specified load ratings.

*Please ensure that the load being controlled falls within these ratings to avoid damaging the relay or shortening its lifespan.
