The SC is a latching relay with 2 stable magnetically latched states. When 1 coil is energized, the relay actuates from magnetically latched position 1 to 2. When the other coil is energized, the relay actuates back from magnetically latched position 2 to 1.
Relays have 8 double break contacts with different configurations. The plug-in design offers secure locking feature for maximum ease of main tenance (no wires need to be disconnected or other hardware removed for relay inspection or replacement). The resistance to impact and vibration is conform to standards in force for Railway Transported Equipment.
Positive mechanical keying of relay to socket is built into relay and socket during manufacture and terminal identifications are clearly marked on identification plate that is permanently attached to the relay.
The SC relay is pluggable in the COR NJ socket.
