The Siemens / Potter & Brumfield KHU-17D11-24 is a panel plug-in relay engineered for industrial control and switching applications. This socketable unit delivers 4 Form C (4PDT) contact configuration with 24 VDC coil operation, consuming 0.85 W at nominal voltage. Silver contacts rated 2–5 A across multiple voltage classes—120/240 VAC or 28 VDC—handle diverse switching loads from 100 mA minimum. Operate and release times of 13 ms and 6 ms respectively enable fast, predictable circuit response. The relay withstands 10 million mechanical cycles and maintains dielectric strength to 1500 Vrms between critical isolation points.
