Why Choose the Lovato HRA502CA230K4 Assembled Miniature Relay?

The Lovato HRA502CA230K4 is a complete assembled miniature general-purpose relay designed for reliable switching and interface duties in industrial control and automation systems. Based on the Lovato HR502C miniature relay, it combines the relay with a screw-terminal socket, LED state indicator, mechanical actuator and retain/release clip in a convenient installation-ready assembly.

This relay assembly features 2 C/O (DPDT) contacts with a rated current of 8 A and a 230 V AC control coil. Its Ag/Ni contacts provide dependable switching performance, while the integrated LED gives clear visual indication of relay status and the mechanical actuator assists with testing and commissioning.

The HRA502CA230K4 uses a screw-terminal socket suitable for practical installation in electrical control equipment. With a rated insulation voltage of 250 V, a 6 kV impulse withstand voltage and a mechanical life of up to 10,000,000 operations, it provides a durable interface solution for machine control, PLC systems and industrial automation.

Key Advantages

  • Complete relay and screw-terminal socket assembly for straightforward installation.
  • 2 C/O changeover contacts provide flexible switching functionality.
  • 8 A rated current for industrial control and auxiliary loads.
  • 230 V AC control coil for mains-voltage AC control circuits.
  • Integrated LED state indicator provides convenient visual status indication.
  • Mechanical actuator assists with manual testing and commissioning.
  • Retain/release clip securely holds the relay in its socket while simplifying removal.

Key Features

  • Lovato HR502C miniature relay supplied as an assembled socket-mounted unit.
  • 2 C/O (DPDT) contact configuration.
  • 8 A rated current.
  • 230 V AC relay control voltage.
  • 250 V rated insulation voltage.
  • 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage.
  • Maximum instantaneous current of 10 A.
  • Ag/Ni contact material.
  • Integrated LED state indication.
  • Integrated mechanical actuator.
  • Screw-terminal socket with retain/release clip.
  • Mechanical life of up to 10,000,000 operations.

Reliable Relay Switching for Industrial Automation

Miniature relays such as the Lovato HRA502CA230K4 allow a control circuit to switch electrically isolated loads through changeover contacts. Its two C/O contacts provide both normally open and normally closed switching paths, making the relay suitable for interfacing, interlocking, signalling and auxiliary control functions.

The assembled configuration combines the relay, LED status indication, mechanical actuator and screw-terminal socket into one practical unit. This arrangement simplifies installation and replacement while providing useful visual and manual features for commissioning, maintenance and fault finding in industrial control systems.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial control panels and electrical cabinets.
  • PLC and automation interface circuits.
  • Machine control and OEM automation equipment.
  • Control signal isolation and switching.
  • Interlocking and auxiliary control circuits.
  • Alarm and status indication systems.
  • Building automation and process control equipment.
