RV8 Interface Series
RV8 Interface Series
IDEC 6mm interface relays provide a compact solution for general purpose relay requirements. The RV8 series interface relays are ideal for PLC and other controller output, industrial automation, panel builders, assembly machine applications and other applications that require a high switching capability in a compact space. The RV8 relays can be used as a universal interfaces between the controller and the actuator to switch small and medium size loads. Installation time is greatly reduced with pre-assembled relays and sockets – with either screw connections or spring clamp terminations. Replacement relays and sockets are also available. Optional accessories include jumpers, spacers and marking plates to facilitate wiring and quick identifications.
  • Class I, Division 2 and Class I, Zone 2 Hazardous Location options (electromechanical relays only)
  • Solid State relay versions available
  • Only 70mm in height from DIN rail
  • Gold-plated contacts (electrical mechanical relays only)
  • Pre-assembled relay and DIN mount socket
  • Universal screw terminals (flat and phillips) or spring clamp terminals
  • Universal AC/DC socket with built-in surge suppression and green LED
  • 6A contact rating (electromechanical relays only)
  • Lever for easy locking and removal of relay
  • Operating temperature of -40ºC ~ 70°C for EMR (-20°C ~ +60°C for SSR)
  • RoHS compliant
The primary versions available are:

RV8H Electromechanical Relay

  • The 6mm electromechanical relays have a 6A contact rating, with voltage input ranges from 5VDC to 240VAC – with several universal versions which can accept both DC and AC inputs.
  • The RV8H offering includes Class I, Div. 2 ratings, for use in hazardous locations.
  • The relay package comes standard with gold-plated contacts, for dry current applications.
RV8S Solid State Relay (SSR)
  • The 6mm SSR provides long life for applications requiring a high repetition rate – such as temperature controls and solenoid operation.
  • The SSR operates faster than the electromechanical equivalent versions, along with quiet operation, and with EMI noise.
  • The relay provides for multiple input options (DC & AC), and DC or AC output options – ranging from 100mA to 3A. For 240VAC output, random or zero-cross options are provided.
