Eaton D2RR2R1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Eaton ice cube relay a DPDT or SPDT relay?
It's DPDT, double-pole double-throw. That gives you two independent sets of changeover contacts off one coil, so you can switch two separate circuits at the same time, or use one pole for the load and the other for an interlock or status feedback back to the controller. If your panel drawing calls for a single changeover contact, an SPDT relay is the lighter-duty part to look for instead.
2) Does this Eaton relay plug into a standard ice cube relay socket?
It uses the standard plug-in ice cube form factor, so it mounts in a socket rather than wiring direct, and swaps out of a relay bank without touching the field wiring. That's the practical reason panel builders spec it: a failed relay comes out by hand and the replacement drops into the same base. The socket and hold-down clip are separate items and are not included with the relay itself.
3) Which Eaton relay part numbers are available, and what's the difference between D5RR2T and D2RR2R1?
Two part numbers: D5RR2T, rated 10A motor FLA, and D2RR2R1, rated 12A motor FLA. Both are DPDT ice cube relays; the contact current rating is what separates them. Size the relay to the full load amps of the motor or load you're switching, and step up to the 12A version if your 10A part is running at the edge of its rating.
4) Can I use this Eaton relay to switch a small motor directly?
The two versions carry motor FLA ratings of 10A (D5RR2T) and 12A (D2RR2R1), so the load's full load amps has to sit at or under the rating of the version you pick. A general-purpose ice cube relay is intended for control switching, relay logic, and light load switching. For a motor drawing more than the relay's FLA rating, use a properly sized contactor or motor starter and let the relay drive its coil.
5) I'm replacing a failed relay in an existing relay bank. Will this Eaton one drop into the base that's already there?
If the existing base is a standard ice cube socket and the relay coming out is DPDT, this Eaton relay is the same form factor and contact arrangement, so it lands in the same base. Two things still have to match on your old part before you order: the coil voltage of the circuit driving it, and the contact rating against the load, which is 10A motor FLA on the D5RR2T and 12A on the D2RR2R1. Pin count and coil voltage stamped on the side of the old relay are what to read off first.
6) Is this Eaton ice cube relay UL Listed for use in a commercial control panel?
It is UL Listed, which is what an inspector or a facility spec typically asks for on control components going into commercial and industrial panels. It's also RoHS compliant, which matters if your institution or municipality has a restricted-substances requirement on purchased electrical components.
7) What are these Eaton DPDT relays typically used for in a building or plant?
Typical work is industrial and commercial control panels, machine control and automation circuits, relay logic and switching systems, panelboard and control wiring, and general-purpose signal and load switching. In practice that means isolating a low-voltage controller output from a higher-current circuit, multiplying a single output into two contacts, or interposing between a PLC and a starter coil.
