GENERAL PURPOSE RELAY
TYPE 157
TYPE 157
FEATURES:
• The Type 157 relay is a rugged power driver offering superior 3/16” through air and 3/8” over-surface
spacing.
• An interlocked frame and contact block prevent contact misalignment during plug-in.
• Open or dust covered available with indicator lamps and push-to-operate buttons.
• A magnetic latching version provides a unique switchable core which cannot be falsely latched.
• All Midtex catalog Type 157 relays have UL & CSA Recognition as motor controllers through 600 VAC
• They provide through air spacing of 3/16” minimum and over-surface spacing of 3/8” minimum and are
recognized for 1/2 hp motor controller applications at 240/480/600 VAC (1/3 hp at 120 VAC).
• Chassis mounted open relays must employ 1/32” additional insulation between mounting surface and relay
to insure 1/2” over-surface and through air to the mounting surface.
• Sockets for the 157 relays are constructed to meet UL requirements for these ratings.
• UL File E38802 CSA LR54109
