Why Choose the ABB RB121-AU-12VDC Interface Relay?
The ABB RB121-AU-12VDC, designated by ABB as RB121G-12VDC, is a compact R600 boxed interface relay designed for signal switching and electrical interfacing in industrial automation and control systems. Its slim construction allows efficient installation in densely populated control cabinets while providing reliable changeover switching between control equipment and connected field circuits.
This relay operates from a 12 V DC rated control supply and provides 1 c/o (SPDT) contact. Its gold-plated contact system is designed for switching currents from 3 mA to 6 A, making it suitable for low-current electronic signals as well as conventional industrial control loads.
With ABB order code 1SNA645075R0000, the RB121G-12VDC uses screw terminals and has a compact width of just 6 mm. The relay supports switching at up to 250 V AC and includes an integrated LED for clear visual status indication in industrial control panels.

Reliable Signal Interfacing for Industrial Automation
Interface relays such as the ABB RB121-AU-12VDC provide a practical switching interface between electronic controllers and field circuits. The 12 V DC control input energises the relay and operates its independent changeover contact, allowing control signals to switch external circuits while maintaining electrical separation between the control and output sides.
The ABB R600 range is designed for compact control installations where panel space and reliable signal switching are important. The RB121G-12VDC combines gold-plated contacts, low-current switching capability, LED indication and screw-terminal connections in a slim 6 mm format suitable for modern PLC and machine-control panels.
Typical Applications
- PLC input and output interfacing.
- Industrial automation and control panels.
- Low-current signal switching.
- Electrical isolation between control and field circuits.
- Machine control systems and OEM equipment.
- Signal amplification and matching applications.
- Process automation and instrumentation.
- Compact DIN rail control cabinet assemblies.
