These miniature plug-in relays have a 10 Ampere resistive
rating (except for RS/RSD41), the same as the Type K plug-in
relays, but are much smaller. The compact size of these relays
makes them ideal for downsizing equipment.

Type R – Miniature Plug-in Relay
General and Order Information
8501 R relays are suited for use as logic elements and power
switching output devices. The short stroke motion of the
armature provides long mechanical life required for high speed
operation of control systems. Different contact compositions
allow these relays to be used in a variety of applications. Fine
silver (gold flashed) and bifurcated crossbar (gold overlay
silver) are suitable for high contact reliability and low level
switching requirements. Silver cadmium oxide is best suited for
inductive loads. Hermetically sealed relays can be used in
adverse environments.
• 1, 3, or 5 Ampere Versions
• 4PDT
• Complete Socket Line

Input Voltage
8501 RS4V14
Pilot Light Option
An Internal green
pilot light
is available in
both AC and DC versions for positive
indication of power to the coil. The pilot lights
are bidirectional LEDs.
8501 RSD14P14V53
Manual Operation Option
To speed circuit testing, a manual operator can
be provided. The relay can be manually
switched to simulate normal operation.
NOTE: All Type R relays with a manual
operator must be used on circuits of same
polarity.
