Product Information

The ZJ18F is a slim miniature intermediate-power / general-purpose relay with blade (PCB / socket) terminals, available in 2-, 3- and 4-pole (2/3/4 Form C) versions. With silver-alloy contacts and current ratings up to 12 A it suits control panels, switchgear, HVAC, lighting and OEM automation. The ZJ18F is the standard version — the ZJ18F-B adds a protective top cover, the ZJ18FT adds a lockable manual test button, and the ZJ18FT-B adds both.
