The K2-42V-1 Medium Power Relay is a dependable and versatile plug-in relay designed for precision switching, signal control, and industrial automation applications. Featuring a Form 2C (DPDT - Double Pole Double Throw) contact configuration, this relay enables the switching of two independent circuits, making it ideal for control systems, instrumentation, telecommunications equipment, and industrial electronics.

Powered by a 42VDC coil, the K2-42V-1 delivers reliable operation with low power consumption of just 333mW. The 5.3k coil resistance ensures efficient performance while maintaining stable switching characteristics, making it suitable for continuous-duty applications.

One of the key features of this relay is its bifurcated silver contacts, which provide enhanced contact reliability, improved signal integrity, and excellent performance in low-current switching applications. The bifurcated contact design helps reduce contact resistance and improves switching accuracy, making it particularly suitable for sensitive control circuits and signal routing applications.

The relay's convenient plug-in mounting format allows for quick installation, easy replacement, and simplified maintenance. Its standard-sized vertical housing measures 24 x 19 x 30mm, providing a compact yet durable solution for panel-mounted and socket-based systems.

Designed to meet demanding industrial requirements, the K2-42V-1 offers a switching capability of up to 1A and is approved by UL and CSA, ensuring compliance with recognised safety and quality standards. Its robust construction and dependable performance make it a valuable component in automation, process control, security systems, communication equipment, and electronic control panels.
