In any control cabinet or automation panel, relays play a fundamental role: bridging lower‑power logic signals and higher‑power circuits, enabling scoping for sensors, actuators and system logic. The Hager relays category covers Hager interface relays, Hager modular relays, Hager time relays, Hager control relays, Hager DIN‑rail relays and Hager relay accessories. From many installations I’ve worked on, getting the right relay family from the start prevents repeated trips, mismatched modules and service‑visits.
When sensors, PLCs or automation logic need to switch devices or circuits, you’ll use Hager interface relays and Hager modular relays. For example, Hager offers latching relays with DIN‑rail mounting, coils at 12 V or 24 V and contact configurations such as DPDT or SPDT.
In practice: you check coil voltage, contact arrangement (NO/NC), rated current (for example 16 A at 250 V AC in model EPN528) DIN‑rail mounting format, whether the module can clip easily and spare replacement logic. Specifying Hager modular relays simplifies spare stock and integration.
For functions such as delayed switching, flashing output, impulse switching or automation control you’ll pick Hager time relays and Hager control relays that carry timing functions or logic interface. For example: a Hager DIN‑rail timer relay capable of 0.1 → 10 h setting, SPDT contact, 12/230 V supply.
From application experience: you’ll verify time‑range, number of contacts, reset mode, mounting depth and terminal type. Using Hager time‑relays aligned with your panel logic ensures you avoid custom workarounds.
All of the above are housed in the broader category of Hager DIN‑rail relays and supported by Hager relay accessories (clip bases, auxiliary contacts, wiring modules). Hager documents the “DIN‑rail‑mounted devices” range under their automation and energy‑management section.
From procurement perspective: you check footprint (modules width), coil voltage, contact ratings, mounting style (snap‑on DIN rail), accessory compatibility (aux contacts, status indicators). Specifying Hager entire relay ecosystem means fewer part‑numbers, fewer installation errors and smoother maintenance.
Beyond the technical fit, this is where your value‑proposition comes in:
