Why Choose the ABB CR-U012DC2LD Pluggable Relay?
The ABB CR-U012DC2LD is a robust and versatile pluggable universal interface relay designed for electrical isolation, signal amplification and signal matching in industrial automation and control systems. As part of the ABB CR-U pluggable relay series, it combines a 12 V DC control coil with two changeover contacts for dependable switching between electronic controls and field-level devices.
This relay provides 2 C/O (DPDT) contacts with a contact rating of 250 V / 10 A. Its plug-in construction allows installation in compatible ABB CR-U sockets, providing a convenient and service-friendly solution for PLC, industrial PC, fieldbus, sensor and actuator interface circuits.
The CR-U012DC2LD incorporates an integrated LED status indicator and free-wheeling diode. The LED provides clear visual indication of coil energisation, while the diode suppresses inductive voltage peaks generated when the DC coil is switched off. An integrated test button enables manual actuation and locking of the output contacts for efficient commissioning, testing and maintenance.
