Small rectangular relay with octal 8-pin base and potentiometer dial

Dayton

Dayton 24EP04 Time Delay Relay 12V DC DPDT 10A 3s-5min Octal 8-Pin

SKU CH-MGKQ-XK3EY

A plug-in time-delay relay with on-delay function adjustable from 3 seconds to 5 minutes, 12 V DC coil, DPDT contacts rated 10 A, and octal 8-pin base

  • Adjustable 3 s to 5 min on-delay timing
  • 12 V DC coil voltage for low-voltage systems
  • DPDT contacts rated 10 A at 240 V AC
  • Octal 8-pin plug-in base for quick installation
  • IP20 enclosed housing protects internal components

Application Fit

The Dayton 24EP04 is a single-function on-delay relay designed for 12 V DC control circuits. It suits installers who need a plug-in timer for motor starters, lighting sequences or process equipment where a single adjustable delay is sufficient.

Decisive Specification

The relay provides a DPDT contact set rated at 10 A for both 240 V AC and 30 V DC loads. The delay range spans 3 seconds to 5 minutes and is set via a built-in potentiometer on an octal 8-pin base.

Sustained Operation

An enclosed IP20 housing protects the contacts during continuous duty cycles. The 1.7 in body depth fits standard DIN-rail sockets, and the 12 V DC coil draws minimal power while maintaining timing accuracy over repeated operations.

Questions about this item

What does the 3-second to 5-minute on-delay range actually give me in a circuit?

The potentiometer lets you set any single delay between 3 seconds and 5 minutes before the DPDT contacts change state after 12 V DC is applied to the coil.

How does the octal 8-pin plug-in connection limit voltage and current?

The relay is rated for 10 A at 240 V AC or 10 A at 30 V DC through its DPDT contacts; the octal socket simply carries those circuits.

What space and mounting hardware does the 1.7-inch-deep enclosed body need?

The relay plugs into any standard octal 8-pin socket; the socket handles panel or DIN-rail mounting while the sealed body sits 1.7 in deep behind the panel.
