RPZF2

What type of component is this?

This is a plug-in relay socket designed to provide the electrical connections and mounting interface for a compatible power relay.

Which relays are compatible with this socket?

The RPZF2 is designed for Schneider RPM plug-in relays with two changeover contacts, commonly described as RPM2 or 2 C/O relays.

Is the relay included with the socket?

No. This component is the socket only; the compatible RPM2 relay and any required accessories are separate components.

What is the conventional thermal current rating?

The socket has a conventional free-air thermal current rating of 16 A.

What is the rated operational voltage?

The rated operational voltage is less than 250 V.

What terminal connection method does it use?

It uses screw-clamp terminals, allowing field wiring to be secured with M3.5 terminal screws.

What is the recommended terminal tightening torque?

The specified tightening torque is less than 1 N·m for the M3.5 screws. The application wiring requirements should always be checked before installation.

What wire sizes can the terminals accept?

Depending on conductor type and configuration, the screw terminals accept flexible conductors with ferrules up to 2.5 mm² and solid conductors up to 1.5 mm². This broadly corresponds to AWG 20 through AWG 14 for flexible conductors and AWG 20 through AWG 16 for solid conductors.

Can it be installed on a DIN rail?

Yes. It can clip onto a 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail, making it suitable for standard industrial control panel layouts.

Can it be mounted directly to a panel?

Yes. In addition to DIN-rail mounting, the socket supports screw mounting directly onto a panel.

How wide is the socket?

The socket is 30 mm, or approximately 1.18 inches, wide.

How much does the component weigh?

The net weight is approximately 0.054 kg, equivalent to about 0.12 lb.

What is the operating temperature range?

The specified ambient operating temperature range is -40°C to 55°C, equivalent to -40°F to 131°F.

What is the storage temperature range?

The specified ambient storage temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, equivalent to -40°F to 185°F.

What level of ingress protection does it provide?

The socket is rated IP20 in accordance with IEC 60529. It is intended for installation within a suitable electrical enclosure.

What is the dielectric strength rating?

The RPZF2 has a dielectric strength rating of 2,500 V.

What is the rated impulse withstand voltage?

The rated impulse withstand voltage is 4 kV.

What overvoltage category and pollution degree apply?

The socket is classified as overvoltage category III and pollution degree 3.

Which electrical standard does the socket comply with?

The product specification identifies compliance with IEC 61984, the standard covering connectors used in electrical equipment.

Which certifications and markings apply?

The socket carries CE marking and is listed with UL and CSA product certifications.

What pin style does the socket accept?

It is designed for compatible relays with flat pins and uses a mixed terminal arrangement.

What does a two-changeover-contact configuration mean?

A two-changeover-contact configuration, also written as 2 C/O, means the compatible relay provides two independently operated contact sets, each capable of switching between normally closed and normally open paths.

Where is this socket commonly used?

Typical applications include industrial control panels, machinery control circuits, interface switching assemblies, automation cabinets, and other installations using compatible RPM2 plug-in relays.
