Overview
The Dayton 6X154G is an industrial-grade time delay relay designed for off-delay timing applications requiring precision and reliability. With its adjustable 1.8–180 second delay range and 10A DPDT output contacts, this relay provides flexible timing control for industrial machinery, HVAC systems, and circuit protection applications. The 120VAC input voltage and octal socket base make this unit a drop-in replacement for standard timing circuits.
