Eaton D3RF3B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Eaton ice cube relay come in anything other than a 24VDC coil?
Three coil voltages are offered on the Eaton ice cube relay: 24V DC (MPN D5RR3T1), 120V AC (D5RF3A), and 240V AC (D3RF3B). The coil voltage is the one thing you have to specify at order time, so match it to the control transformer or DC supply feeding the panel. The contact side is the same 3PDT, 10A arrangement regardless of which coil you pick.
2) Does this Eaton relay need a socket, or can I wire it directly?
It is a socket-mount relay with 8 pins, so it plugs into a relay socket rather than being hardwired. You need a matching 8-pin socket on the DIN rail or panel subplate, and that socket is ordered separately. The upside is replacement later takes seconds with no rewiring.
3) Can one of these ice cube relays switch three separate circuits?
Yes. The 3PDT arrangement gives three independent changeover poles, each with a normally open and a normally closed contact, so a single coil can switch three isolated circuits at once. Each pole carries up to 10A on a resistive load.
4) What voltage can the contacts on the Eaton 3PDT ice cube relay switch?
Contacts are rated to 300V maximum, with a 10A rated operational current on resistive loads. That covers 120V and 240V control and lighting circuits. Inductive loads such as motor starters and solenoids draw more on make and break, so size below the resistive figure for those.
5) Will this relay fit in a tight control panel layout?
The body measures 1.5 in wide, 3 in deep and 1.5 in high, which is a standard ice cube footprint for panel work. Allow extra depth beyond the 3 in for the socket itself and for the retaining clip to swing clear when you pull the relay.
6) Can I use the 24VDC version with a PLC output?
The 24V DC coil version (D5RR3T1) runs on the same 24VDC supply most PLCs and automation power supplies use, so it is the one to pick when a controller output or a 24V DC control bus is driving the relay. Confirm your PLC output can source the coil current, or drive it through an interposing output module.
