Designed to meet the stringent requirements of modern rail transport, it is compliant with key standards including IEC 60947-4-1, IEC 60947-5-1, IEC 60077-1/-2, and applicable parts of EN 50155. This makes it suitable for installation in passenger or driver cabins, even for trains operating in tunnels or underground environments. Key features include a compact design that allows for side-by-side mounting, reducing installation width by up to 15% without spacing, thereby enhancing installation compactness. The NFZB62E-21 operates reliably across an extreme temperature range of -40°C to +70°C. Its electronic coil interface effectively handles significant DC voltage fluctuations, supporting multiple Uc DC control voltages (24-60V DC for this specific model) used for battery supply, and also accepts sinusoidal AC 50/60 Hz control supplies within its Ucmin to Ucmax voltage range. This design contributes to reduced train energy consumption, with the relay requiring 68% less coil energy during operation. Safety is paramount, and the NFZB62E-21 achieves the highest levels in fire and smoke behavior, complying with European standard EN 45545-2 at HL2 and HL3 hazard levels when mounted in groups. It is built to withstand shocks and vibrations conforming to IEC 61373 category 1, class B, ensuring operational integrity in demanding conditions. The device weighs 0.360 kg per unit and offers flexibility with a wide range of auxiliary contact blocks available for front and side mounting. Variants are available for other control voltages: NFZ62EK-20 (12-20V DC), NFZ62EK-22 (48-130V DC), and NFZ62EK-23 (100-250V DC).
  • Compliant with IEC 60947-4-1, IEC 60947-5-1, IEC 60077-1/-2, and EN 50155 standards for railway rolling stock.
  • Operates reliably in extreme temperatures from -40°C to +70°C.
  • Compact design with side-by-side mounting capability, reducing installation width by up to 15%.
  • Electronic coil interface handles DC voltage fluctuations (24-60V DC) and AC 50/60 Hz control supplies.
  • Achieves 68% less coil energy consumption and meets EN 45545-2 (HL2, HL3) for fire and smoke behavior.
