Omron Relay Base 8pin

Description

Omron LY2N-J 8-Pin Miniature Power Relay (DPDT – High Capacity) The Omron LY2N-J is a compact, high-capacity miniature electromagnetic power relay. While it shares the same 8-pin DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration as the standard MY2 series, the LY family features wider, heavy-duty flat blade terminals designed to bridge higher current loads. It comes equipped with a transparent protective “ice-cube” shell and a built-in LED indicator to provide maintenance teams with instant visual feedback when the coil is energized. Key Features Contact Configuration: DPDT (2 Form C: 2 Normally Open / 2 Normally Closed contacts). High Switching Capacity: Upgraded capability over the MY series, handling loads up to 10A at 110V/220V AC or 10A at 28V DC. Visual Diagnostics: Features an integrated LED status indicator lamp that glows dynamically when the internal control coil is active. 8-Pin Terminal Profile: Comprises 2 pins for the control coil, 2 common (COM) lines, 2 normally open (NO) contacts, and 2 normally closed (NC) contacts. Heavy Blade Pins: Uses larger, flat plugin terminals engineered to handle high current distribution without overheating. Compatibility Guide The LY2N-J is heavily relied upon in setups that require the small footprint of a miniature relay but demand the switching power of a larger industrial contactor block. 1. Compatible Control Voltages (Coils) The external footprint across the LY2 model range is identical, so you must match your controller’s supply line to the specific coil rating stamped on the relay chassis: DC 24V / DC 12V Coils: Heavily utilized to wire straight into digital outputs on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), sensor arrays, and low-voltage control setups. AC 220V / AC 240V Coils: Tailored to integrate cleanly into standard building utility grids, commercial facility circuits, and direct line-voltage sequence loops. AC 110V / AC 120V Coils: Frequently found in marine control panels, specialized plant manufacturing machinery, and legacy infrastructure setups. 2. Compatible Base Sockets (Mounting) Because the blade terminals are wider than those of the MY series, this relay requires its own specific high-capacity terminal sockets: PTF08A / PTF08A-E Sockets: The standard matching 8-pin high-capacity screw-terminal tracking bases. They snap directly onto standard 35mm DIN rails, allowing field electricians to cleanly terminate and secure thick raw panel wiring with a standard screwdriver. 3. Common Applications Small Motor & Pump Switching: Directly starts and stops single-phase fractional-horsepower ventilation fans, industrial fluid pumps, and conveyor drive motors. High-Inductive Load Isolation: Acts as a sacrificial, robust buffer to handle heavy arc flashes from larger solenoids, valves, or heating blocks while shielding delicate upstream PLC logic modules. Dual-Circuit Power Interlocking: Simultaneously switches a heavy line-voltage operational load while isolating a secondary signal pathway to report status back to a central control console.
