TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield R10-E1Y2-J5.0K Ice Cube Relay

The TE Connectivity Potter & Brumfield R10-E1Y2-J5.0K is a compact, general-purpose ice cube relay designed for industrial control applications. This relay features a sensitive DC coil with a resistance of 5,000 ohms, drawing only 4.1 mA, making it ideal for low-power circuits where energy efficiency is crucial. It offers a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) contact configuration, allowing it to switch two independent circuits. Key applications include automation systems, control panels, and signal switching in manufacturing environments. Advantages include high reliability, transparent housing for easy inspection of internal components, and compatibility with standard octal sockets for quick installation. Compared to similar relays like those from Omron or Schneider, the R10 series provides superior coil sensitivity and a broader operating temperature range, reducing power consumption and enhancing longevity. Drawbacks may include limited availability of legacy parts and the need for proper socket mounting to avoid vibration issues. Based on image analysis, this unit appears to be in used but good condition, with no visible damage, scratches, or corrosion on the transparent case or pins. No serial number is clearly visible, and there are no attached parent/child assets like sockets or controllers evident in the photos.
