C10-A10X/120VAC Relay 10A SPDT 250VAC Coil – Releco Industrial Switch

Description

Product Overview

The Releco C10-A10X/120VAC relay is engineered for high‑performance switching in demanding industrial environments. Featuring a 10 A rating at 120 VAC and a 250 VAC coil, this SPDT (single pole double throw) device offers reliable contact operation, low power consumption, and a compact DIP (dual in‑line package) footprint that fits seamlessly onto printed circuit boards. Constructed from high‑grade copper alloys and insulated with flame‑retardant polymer, the relay ensures consistent performance even under temperature extremes and frequent cycling. Its robust mechanical design minimizes wear, while the sealed contacts protect against dust, moisture, and corrosive gases, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of industrial applications, the C10‑A10X relay excels in automation systems, motor control circuits, HVAC equipment, and safety interlocks. Its SPDT configuration allows you to switch a single input between two outputs, making it ideal for load selection, signal routing, and fault detection. The 120 VAC rating aligns with standard line voltages used in North American facilities, while the 250 VAC coil provides a safety margin for surge conditions. Install the relay on a DIN rail or directly solder it onto a control board, and connect the coil to a regulated 250 VAC source to achieve fast, reliable actuation. The compact DIP package fits into tight panel spaces, enabling designers to maximize board real estate without sacrificing functionality.
