(plug in relay) BASE (ABB CR-U3S)
Form
Standard DIN-rail mount socket with screw terminals organized for easy wiring access.
- rated Operational Current : (230 V) 10 A
dimensions: 38 mm (Width) x 26 mm (Height) x 75 mm (Depth)
weight: 0.065 kg
connections: 12-pin receptacle layout with screw terminals
Fit
- mounting: snaps onto standard 35 mm DIN rail (IEC/EN 60715)
- device compatibility: Specifically sized to accept ABB CR-U series relays with 3 c/o contacts, including PELECOMMIA210 (CR-U024DC3L)
- wiring: 20-14 AWG/0,5...2,5 mm² or flexible wire with ferrule 20-16 AWG/0,5...1,5 mm²
- accessories: includes a slot for pluggable function modules (e.g., reverse polarity diodes or EMC protection)
Coil Connections (Control):
Terminals: Marked A1 and A2.
A1: Primary supply connection (Positive + for DC applications).
A2: Return supply connection (Negative - / Neutral).
NB: Correct polarity is essential when using LED or protection modules.
Contact Connections (Output): The socket features 3 independent change-over (c/o) poles.
Common (COM): Terminals 11, 21, 31
The input/supply terminal for each of the 3 independent poles
Normally Closed (NC): Terminals 12, 22, 32
The contact connected to Common when the relay is OFF (de-energized)
Normally Open (NO): Terminals 14, 24, 34
The contact connected to Common when the relay is ON (energized)
Operational Logic:
Relay OFF (No power to A1/A2): power flows from 11 to 12 (NC). the connection to 14 is open
Relay ON (Power applied to A1/A2): the coil switches the contact. Power now flows from 11 to 14 (NO), and the connection to 12 is broken.
Typical Application (Motor Control):
use A1/A2 for the start/stop signal
wire the "Start" button through the 11-14 (NO) path to create a self-latching circuit (holding the power on after the button is released)
use 11-12 (NC) for an auxiliary function, such as a "Standby" status light that turns off when the motor starts
Function
provides the physical and electrical interface for the relay, allowing PELECOMMIA210 to be wired into a panel and easily replaced without disturbing the cabling.
system role: acts as the bridge between the panel wiring (screw terminals) and the relay unit (circular pins).
