Alternating Relays

261S240

The MODEL 261 series Alternating Relays provide reliable load management for industrial applications. Featuring solid-state construction, these relays ensure consistent operation and extended service life. With a robust 10A at 120VAC resistive contact rating, they are suitable for demanding control circuits. Users can select from various voltage configurations, including 12V, 24V, 120V, and 240V AC/DC, accommodating diverse system requirements. The relays maintain performance across an operating temperature range of -20° to +140° F and tolerate 0-97% humidity without condensation. Optional load 1-load 2 toggle functionality enhances operational flexibility. UL Recognized and CSA Certified, these units meet established safety and performance standards. Their 10 million mechanical operations rating underscores their durability in continuous duty cycles, minimizing maintenance needs. This series offers a practical solution for alternating pump or compressor loads.
