Littelfuse ERDM422 - The ERDM Series is a combination of digital electronics and a reliable electromechanical relay. These devices offer a DPDT relay output for relay logic circuits, and isolation of input to output voltages. Cost effective for OEM applications, such as random starting, sequencing ON, switch de-bouncing, anti-short cycling, and other common delay-on-make applications. Operation (Delay-on-Make): Upon application of input voltage, the time delay begins. The output is de-energized before and during the time delay. At the end of the time delay, the output energizes and remains energized until input voltage is removed. Reset: Removing input voltage resets the time delay and output.

Overview

The Littelfuse ERDM422 is a highly reliable Delay-on-Make (On-Delay) time delay relay, expertly engineered to integrate advanced digital electronics with robust electromechanical relay technology. This combination ensures precise timing control and dependable operation for a wide array of industrial automation and OEM applications. The ERDM422 features a versatile Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) relay output, providing two independent sets of contacts for maximum circuit flexibility. A critical design element is the inherent input-to-output isolation, with an isolation voltage rating of ≥1500V RMS, safeguarding sensitive control circuitry from voltage transients and surges. This isolation is paramount in industrial environments where electrical noise and varying voltage levels are common. Designed for cost-effectiveness without compromising performance, the ERDM422 is an ideal choice for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) seeking robust timing solutions. Its primary function is the delay-on-make operation: upon application of input voltage, the time delay sequence begins. During this delay period, the output contacts remain de-energized. Only after the preset time delay has elapsed will the output contacts energize, remaining so until the input voltage is removed. This functionality is crucial for applications such as: * **Random Starting:** Ensuring equipment starts in a staggered fashion to prevent inrush current overload on power supplies. * **Sequencing ON:** Controlling the order in which multiple devices are powered up, preventing system instability. * **Switch De-bouncing:** Eliminating spurious signals from mechanical switches, ensuring a clean and stable input signal. * **Anti-Short Cycling:** Preventing compressors or other equipment from cycling on and off too rapidly, which can cause damage and reduce lifespan. * **General Delay-On-Make Applications:** Any scenario requiring a specific delay before a circuit is activated. The reset mechanism is straightforward and reliable: removing the input voltage immediately resets the time delay and de-energizes the output, preparing the unit for the next cycle. This ensures consistent and predictable performance in repetitive operations. **Key Specifications and Features:** * **Time Delay Type:** Digital integrated circuitry for high accuracy and stability. * **Time Delay Range:** Available in 11 adjustable ranges from 0.1s to 500m, or a fixed 0.1s to 1000m range, offering flexibility for diverse timing needs. * **Repeat Accuracy:** An impressive ±0.5% ensures consistent timing performance over multiple cycles. * **Input Voltage Options:** Supports a wide range of input voltages including 12, 24, or 120VDC, and 24, 120, or 230VAC, accommodating various power systems. * **Output Contacts:** DPDT configuration with a robust 10A resistive rating at 120/240VAC and 28VDC, and 1/3 hp at 120/240VAC. * **Mechanical Life:** Rated for 1 x 10^7 operations, ensuring long-term reliability. * **Full Load Life:** 1 x 10^6 operations at full load. * **Mounting:** Designed for convenient surface mounting using two #6 screws (M3.5 x 0.6). * **Termination:** Features 0.25 in. (6.35 mm) male quick connect terminals for easy and secure wiring. * **Operating Temperature Range:** Operates reliably in harsh environments from -40° to 65°C. With its combination of precise digital timing, robust electromechanical output, and essential isolation features, the Littelfuse ERDM422 is a cost-effective and dependable solution for critical timing functions in industrial machinery, control panels, and automated systems. Trust Littelfuse, a recognized leader in circuit protection and control, for your essential timing relay needs.
