Why Choose the ABB CR-P012AC2 Pluggable Interface Relay?
The ABB CR-P012AC2 is a compact pluggable interface relay designed for electrical isolation, signal amplification and signal matching between electronic control systems and sensors or actuators. Part of the ABB CR-P range, it provides two changeover contacts for flexible industrial control and automation applications.
The CR-P012AC2 operates with a 12 V AC rated control supply and provides a 2 c/o (DPDT) output with contacts rated at 250 V / 8 A. This configuration allows multiple circuits to be switched from a single input signal while maintaining a compact footprint within control panels.
The relay can be mounted directly on a printed circuit board or used with a compatible ABB CR-P socket. Its IP67-rated relay housing, cadmium-free contacts and compact construction make it suitable for a wide range of industrial interface and control applications.
