E-SAFE® RELAY
The E-SAFE® mercury-free relay
from Watlow provides reliable and
accurate power switching for
processing applications.
This relay can exceed the
performance of typical mercury
relays while fitting within the same
footprint. The E-SAFE RELAY bridges
the gap between mercury
displacement relays (MDRs) and
solid state relays (SSRs) by providing
superior power switching in a
non-mercury solution at a lower cost.
This mercury-free relay also provides
longer contact life and higher
performance than typical mechanical
relays used in equipment.
