Overview
The Allen-Bradley 700-HN121 is a miniature 5-blade relay socket purpose-built for secure mounting and operation of Allen-Bradley 700-HK and 700-HNK 1-pole relays. With a 10-amp continuous rating at 250VAC, the 700-HN121 combines compact size with robust electrical handling, making it a standard choice in industrial control panels, process automation, and switchgear installations.
Key Features
- 5-blade miniature base with forked lug conductor terminals for positive pin engagement
- 10 amp continuous rating at 250VAC ensures reliable operation in demanding applications
