Littelfuse KRDM121 - The KRDM Series is a compact time delay relay measuring only 2 in. (50.8 mm) square. Its solid-state timing circuit provides excellent repeat accuracy and stability. Encapsulation protects against shock, vibration, and humidity. The KRDM Series is a cost effective approach for OEM applications that require small size, isolation, reliability, and long life. 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 relay energizes and remains energized until input voltage is removed. Reset: Removing input voltage resets the time delay and output.

Overview

The Littelfuse KRDM121 is a compact, microcontroller-based time delay relay designed for OEM applications requiring precise timing and space efficiency. Measuring a mere 2 inches (50.8 mm) square, this relay offers a cost-effective solution without compromising reliability or longevity. Its solid-state timing circuit delivers exceptional repeat accuracy of +/- 0.5%, ensuring consistent performance across demanding industrial environments. The KRDM121 features a delay-on-make operation: upon application of input voltage (12VDC for the KRDM121 model), the time delay commences, and the output relay remains de-energized. Only after the set delay period (adjustable from 1 to 100 seconds via an onboard knob) does the output relay energize, staying active until the input voltage is removed. This reset mechanism ensures predictable operation. Encapsulation protects the internal components against shock, vibration, and humidity, further enhancing its suitability for challenging conditions. The isolated, 10A, SPDT output contacts allow for control of both AC and DC loads. Optional accessories like the P1004-95 Versa-Pot and P1023-6 mounting bracket are available for enhanced functionality and installation flexibility. The KRDM121 is an ideal choice for applications where small size, isolation, and reliable, adjustable time delays are critical.
