Smart Power Relay E-1048-8D...

Description
The Smart Power Relay E-1048-8D is a remotely controllable electronic
load disconnecting relay with two functions in a single unit:
l electronic relay
l electronic overcurrent protection
The 4 pin DICE version is designed for use with standard automotive relay
sockets. A choice of current ratings is available from 1 A through 30 A.
An operating voltage range of DC 9...32 V allows the connection of
DC 12 V and DC 24 V loads.

In order to switch and protect loads remotely, it has until now been
necessary to connect several discreet components together:
- an electro-mechanic relay, control cable and integral
contact to close the load circuit
- an additional protective element (circuit breaker or fuse) for E-1048-8D DICE version
cable or equipment protection

Now type E-1048-8D combines these two functions in a single

unit, thus minimising the number of connections in the circuit Technical Data (TA= 25 °C at UN)
and thereby reducing the risk of failures.

machine-building, engineering) as an electronic coupling relay between
30 A up to 60 °C ambient temp.
