Slim Relays
A slim relay is a socketed interface relay with a narrower housing than standard panel relays, taking up little space on the DIN rail. It is used to isolate PLC outputs from the load and to save space in control panels where many relays are lined up side by side. In this category, Molwex slim relays are listed with 1 CO 10 A and 2 CO 5 A contact configurations, with LED indicator and test button, and with coil voltages of 12 V DC, 24 V DC, 48 V DC, 110 V DC, 24 V AC, 115 V AC and 230 V AC; the Tense HF-41F is offered as a set together with its screw-terminal socket. Select the coil voltage and type (AC or DC) according to the PLC output or control voltage, the contact arrangement according to the circuit, and the contact current according to the current and type of the load. Whether the socket comes with the relay varies by model; verify the set contents on the product page. The slim relays in this category have one or two contacts; in circuits that require four changeover contacts, they are not a substitute for a 4 CO standard relay.

How to choose Slim Relays
A slim relay is a socketed interface relay with a narrower housing than standard panel relays, taking up little space on the DIN rail. It is used to isolate PLC outputs from the load and to save space in control panels where many relays are lined up side by side.
- Separate sensing, motion control, logic processing and operator interface requirements.
- Select signal type, supply voltage, communication protocol and I/O count for the machine network.
- Verify housing size, sensing distance and PNP/NPN output polarity against the PLC input card.
Frequently asked questions
What is Slim Relays and where is it used?
