Littelfuse CT45S45 - The CT Series combines a delay-on-make and delay-on-break time delay into one unit and may be used to control fan delays in heating and/or cooling equipment. The CT includes bypass circuitry to allow it to operate with cooling anticipators 3000 ohms. It is designed to operate in 24VAC control circuits. Several CT modules may be combined to provide sequencing on of any number of loads and sequencing off of the same loads, such as electric heating elements. Operation (Delay-on-Make/Delay-on-Break): Forced Air Heating or Air Conditioning (as shown): When the thermostat closes, the compressor relay is immediately energized. At the end of a fixed delay-on-make delay (T1), the fan relay is energized. When the thermostat opens, the compressor relay is de-energized and the delay-on-break delay is initiated. On completion of the fixed delay-on- break delay (T2) the fan relay is de-energized. If the thermostat is reclosed during the delay-on-break delay, the delay-on-break delay is reset and the fan relay remains energized. If the thermostat is closed when input voltage is applied, the delay-on-make delay (T1) begins as normal. Reset: Removing input voltage resets the output and time delays.

Overview

The Littelfuse CT45S45 (SKU CT45S45) is a versatile CT Series Time Delay Relay designed for precise fan control in HVAC systems. This solid-state, encapsulated module integrates both delay-on-make (T1) and delay-on-break (T2) functions into a single unit, simplifying installation and enhancing system efficiency for heating and cooling applications. Operating within a 24VAC control circuit (±15% tolerance, 50/60 Hz), the CT45S45 ensures reliable performance. Its operational sequence for forced air systems dictates immediate compressor relay energization upon thermostat closure, followed by fan relay activation after the fixed delay-on-make (T1). Upon thermostat opening, the compressor de-energizes, initiating the delay-on-break (T2) before the fan relay de-energizes. A key feature is the reset functionality: if the thermostat recloses during the delay-on-break period, the delay is reset, and the fan relay remains energized. The CT45S45 includes bypass circuitry compatible with cooling anticipators rated at 3000 ohms or higher. Its totally solid-state, encapsulated construction protects against shock, vibration, and humidity, eliminating arcing and wear. Multiple CT modules can be interconnected for advanced load sequencing, ideal for applications like controlling electric heating elements. Key specifications include a 0.75A steady state / 5A inrush output rating at 55°C, ±5% repeat accuracy for time delay, and a recycle time of ≤ 300ms. The unit measures 50.8 mm (H) x 50.8 mm (W) x 30.7 mm (D) and terminates via 0.25 in. (6.35 mm) male quick connect terminals. It operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 70°C. The Littelfuse CT45S45 is a durable and precise component for critical HVAC timing applications.
