Why Choose the Lovato HR401CD024 Miniature Relay?
The Lovato HR401CD024 is a compact general-purpose miniature relay featuring a 24 V DC coil and 1 changeover (C/O) contact rated at 16 A. Part of the Lovato HR401C series, it provides dependable switching for industrial control, automation and auxiliary circuits where a compact electromechanical relay is required.
The HR401CD024 uses AgSnO2 contact material and has a rated insulation voltage of 250 V. Its contact system provides a conventional free-air thermal current of 16 A at temperatures up to 40 °C and a maximum instantaneous current of 60 A, making it suitable for a broad range of control and switching duties.
The relay is designed for use with Lovato HR5XS2 series sockets, where the maximum applicable current is 10 A. With a mechanical life of up to 10 million operations, fast switching and a wide operating temperature range, the HR401CD024 is a practical relay for machinery, panels and general industrial automation.

Reliable Switching for Industrial Control Systems
The Lovato HR401CD024 combines a compact miniature format with a robust 16 A changeover contact. Its AgSnO2 contact material, 4 kV impulse withstand capability and long mechanical endurance make it suitable for repetitive control duties in machinery and industrial automation systems.
When panel-mounted using a compatible Lovato HR5XS2 socket, the relay can be replaced without disturbing the permanent field wiring. Installers should observe the 10 A maximum current applicable when the relay is fitted to the HR5XS2 socket, despite the relay itself having a 16 A rated contact current.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels.
- Machinery and automation systems.
- PLC output interfacing.
- Auxiliary switching circuits.
- Building automation and control systems.
- Motor and contactor control circuits.
- General-purpose electrical load switching.
