GE General Purpose Plug-in Relays

GE Industrial Systems new CR420 series comprises a comprehensive general purpose plug-in relay family. Often called ice cube relays, these UL/CSA recognized and CE marked products add another dimension to GEs control package. They will be particularly useful in OEM control applications. These general-purpose plug-in relays deliver low-cost switching in many industrial control circuits in such applications as industrial equipment, machine tool, HVAC, lighting, vending, commercial appliances, elevators and spa controls. Coupled with their sockets and options, they supply powerful ratings at a low cost. Consider the advantages: Cost-effectiveness Power Reliability Easy installation Quick identification Acceptance Popular options

Competitive everyday prices for functional relays create an excellent solution for From 5 amp (4 pole) to 30 amp (single pole), these relays handle large loads in a
compact package. low voltage industrial switching.

Every relay is thoroughly tested, so you get the performance you need the first
time, every time. And a long electrical life ensures that performance will last.

Simple plug-in terminations in robust DIN rail sockets save time and money. All AC and DC coils are color-coded for quick voltage identification on the
shop floor.

CR420s are UL and CSA recognized and CE marked for acceptance and usearound the world.

Available options allow you to reduce your inventory by standardizing on those

you need most. Choose from: Flag indicators that show relay status in manual or powered condition. Push-to-test buttons that allow manual operation without coil power ideal for testing of control circuits by field service personnel. LED indicating lamps clearly show coil status, even in low light conditions. IP20 finger-safe sockets protect users from accidental contact during termination.

All versions are available with AC or DC coils, plug-in or direct flange mounting and multiple contact configurations. Robust specifications enable direct replacement from many major manufacturers. The CR420 line takes its place alongside the full range of components that GE offers to OEMs and panelbuilders. This includes contactors, starters, breakers, transformers, PLCs, packaged drives, push buttons, switches and status indicating lights.
