METZ CONNECT väzbové relé 24 V AC/DC KRA-F10/21-21 2W (11070213)

Industrial control systems often need to switch high-power loads from low-power PLC or controller outputs. The METZ CONNECT KRA-F10/21-21 coupling relay solves this by providing galvanic isolation and signal amplification in a compact DIN-rail module. With a 24 V AC/DC coil and a changeover contact rated up to 250 V AC / 6 A, it reliably interfaces between control logic and actuators, valves, or contactors.

Who is it for

This relay is intended for panel builders, system integrators, and maintenance engineers working in industrial automation, building technology, and machine building. It suits applications where a PLC output must drive a higher-current load or where electrical isolation between control and load circuits is required.

Tips

Ensure the coil voltage matches your control signal. For inductive loads, consider using a freewheeling diode or RC snubber to protect the contacts and extend relay life. The relay can be mounted side-by-side on the DIN rail without derating up to the specified ambient temperature.
