General
Style “Q” Twin relays provide two
completely independent relays within
a single “Q” relay enclosure. Each
relay provides a maximum of 8
independent contacts. They offer
considerable savings of both cost and
space when contact requirements can
be kept within these limits. They offer
special advantages in building
geographical sets.
General
A wide variety of equipment can be
conveniently housed in Style Q relay
enclosures, including timers, flashers,
transformers, rectifier feed units,
capacitor slugging units, etc.
Construction
It is not possible to give a general
description as construction methods
used vary widely according to the
particular components to be housed. Style QTDS
Electronic components are usually
mounted on printed circuit cards and
wired to tags assembled to the relay
base in positions normally occupied
by relay contacts. The usual coding
pins are provided on the rear of the
unit to ensure only the correct unit is
plugged in.
Special Units
Special units can be designed to meet
specific requirements if justified by
demand.
