Have you ever wondered how machines, fans, pumps, or lighting systems continue running for a few seconds or minutes even after power is removed? That’s where an OFF-Delay Timer Relay comes into play. A1 & A2 – Supply voltage terminals 15 – Common terminal 16 – Normally Closed (NC) contact 18 – Normally Open (NO) contact Y1 – Control/Input terminal How it works: When power is applied, the relay energizes immediately. When power is removed, the relay remains energized for the preset time. After the set delay expires, the relay switches OFF.
