Schneider Electric KP12V20 General Purpose Relay

Schneider Electric KP12V20 General Purpose Relay is a DPDT plug-in relay in the Square D 8501 family, packaged in an 8‑pin plug‑in base for quick installation in compatible sockets. It provides two Form C circuits (2 normally open and 2 normally closed) in a single device, enabling versatile control in a compact footprint. Rated for up to 10 A resistive load at 120 VAC and up to 1 HP at 277 VAC, it can switch both line-level control circuits and modest motor loads in industrial equipment and electrical panels. The coil is specified for 120 VAC operation, allowing straightforward interface with standard control logic and power supplies found in many control architectures. The tubular KP design supports reliable operation in common industrial environments, and the relay is UL listed with Square D sockets and CSA certified for use in certified systems. As part of Schneider Electric’s Square D line, the 8501 class relays are designed for general-purpose interlocking and control tasks, offering robust switching performance in a compact, easy-to-replace module. Typical applications include control panels, machine automation, interlocks, sequencing, and other general-purpose switching tasks where 120 VAC control and up to 120 VAC loads are involved.
