Overview
The Allen-Bradley 700-HK36A1 is a general purpose slim line relay engineered for versatile industrial automation and control applications. Manufactured by Rockwell Automation, this 120V 50/60 Hz relay features standard contacts and one changeover contact (single pole double throw, SPDT) with a 16A rating. The compact form factor makes it ideal for panel installations with space constraints, while its plug-in blade-style terminals ensure quick and reliable connections without soldering.
Key Features
- Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) contact configuration for reliable operation in various control systems
- Push-To-Test function allows easy verification of relay functionality, with manual override feature for operational flexibility
- Plug-in blade-style terminals (2.5 x 0.5 mm) with support for optional Bulletin 1492 snap-in markers for identification
- Slim build that saves panel space and includes color coding to identify control voltage type with separation of coil and contact terminals
- ON/OFF indicator with retainer clip and sockets for secure mounting
