RKS-5AW-240 240VAC High Power Mini PCB Relay 16A Flux Proof Relay

The RKS-5AW-240 is a high-power mini PCB relay engineered for dependable switching performance in industrial equipment, automation systems, power control circuits, household appliances, HVAC systems, and commercial electrical applications. Combining a compact footprint with high current handling capability, this flux-proof relay provides an efficient solution for controlling demanding AC loads from printed circuit boards.

Designed with a Form 1U (SPDT Changeover) contact configuration, the relay offers versatile switching functionality for a wide variety of control and power management applications. Its single changeover contact allows reliable switching between normally open and normally closed circuits, making it suitable for both control and load switching requirements.

The relay operates directly from a 240VAC coil, eliminating the need for additional DC power supplies in many AC-powered systems. Featuring a coil resistance of 32.5k , the relay delivers stable operation and reliable actuation while maintaining efficient performance in continuous-duty applications.

With a contact rating of 16A at 250VAC and a maximum switching capability of up to 20A, the RKS-5AW-240 is capable of controlling substantial electrical loads. This makes it ideal for switching motors, compressors, heating elements, pumps, lighting systems, power supplies, and other high-current AC equipment.

Its compact mini-relay construction allows designers to maximize PCB space without sacrificing switching performance. The flux-proof housing protects the relay mechanism from solder flux contamination during manufacturing, improving assembly reliability and ensuring consistent long-term operation.

The 5mm contact spacing provides enhanced electrical isolation and supports safe switching of higher-voltage loads. Built for durability and reliability, the relay is designed to withstand frequent switching cycles and continuous operation in demanding industrial and commercial environments.

The RKS-5AW-240 is widely used in industrial controls, appliance manufacturing, energy management systems, building automation, HVAC controls, power distribution equipment, and OEM electronic products requiring reliable high-current AC switching.
