TE Connectivity CDA-38-70012 Relay

TE Connectivity's Potter & Brumfield CDA-38-70012 is a DPDT (2 Form C) time-delay relay designed for socketable mounting in industrial control panels. The device provides a fixed 1-second delay on energization and carries a 10 A load rating at 277 VAC, enabling reliable sequencing and interlock functions in AC control circuits. As part of TE Connectivity's Agastat/Potter & Brumfield relay family, the CDA-38-70012 is built for compact, rugged operation in demanding environments where precise timing matters. The DPDT arrangement supports both normally open and normally closed contacts, allowing flexible timing logic within a single unit and simplifying wiring in complex control schemes. Designed for socketable use, it pairs with TE/Potter & Brumfield sockets to facilitate quick installation, replacement, and maintenance in legacy systems that require a standardized 1-second delay timer. Typical applications include start-up sequencing for motors or pumps, delayed signaling in automation loops, alarm and interlock circuits, and other control tasks where a predictable, short delay is essential in industrial equipment.
