  • Rated for 100,000 electrical operations at 50/60 Hz

What it is and who it is for

The Macromatic VAKP012D is a voltage sensing relay built for industrial control and automation panels. It monitors a 12V DC supply and switches a DPDT contact set when the voltage moves outside the 9 to 15V DC pick-up range or falls within the 75 to 95 percent drop-out band. The plug-in octal base allows quick installation in standard sockets without soldering.

The specification that decides fit

The relay operates on 12V DC input and provides a 10 A contact rating at 240V AC or 7 A at 30V DC. Its pick-up window of 9 to 15V DC and drop-out range of 75 to 95 percent define the exact voltage thresholds that trigger the output contacts. Electrical operating durability is rated at 100,000 cycles at 50 or 60 Hz.

How it fits into a build

The unit measures 1.7 in wide, 2.4 in high and 2.9 in deep, so verify socket spacing and panel depth before mounting. The eight flat pins plug directly into an octal base, freeing wiring space compared with screw-terminal alternatives. It suits panels that need overvoltage and undervoltage monitoring on a 12V DC rail without adding a separate controller.

Questions about this item

What does the 12V DC input voltage mean for my control panel?

The relay monitors a 12V DC supply and switches its contacts when the voltage rises between 9 and 15V DC or falls to 75 to 95 percent of the pick-up level, providing automatic overvoltage and undervoltage protection for connected equipment.

How does the octal 8-pin plug-in base limit the circuits I can switch?

The octal base provides a DPDT contact form rated at 10 A for 240V AC loads and 7 A for 30V DC loads, so each relay can control two independent circuits within those current and voltage limits.

Will the 2.9 in depth, 2.4 in height and 1.7 in width body fit my standard octal socket?

Yes, the plug-in mount is designed for standard octal sockets; the transparent housing measures 2.9 in deep, 2.4 in high and 1.7 in wide, so verify your panel cut-out and socket spacing match those dimensions.
