timer relay wiring diagram

An 8‑pin timer relay is used to control electrical loads with a preset delay using a DPDT contact arrangement. It provides both normally open and normally closed outputs across two separate channels. Understanding its pin configuration helps ensure safe and efficient circuit wiring for motors, lamps, and automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions - 8 Pin timer Relay wiring:

A timer relay with coil, two common contacts each with NC and NO terminals.
Pins 2 and 7 are used for the coil (L and N supply) on most models.
Pins 1 & 8 are COM; 1 NC‑4/NO‑3; 8 NC‑5/NO‑6 contacts.
Pin 3 & 6 are NO; pin 4 & 5 are NC relays.
Yes, in auto ON/OFF circuits for motors using appropriate rating.
Yes, two separate poles each with NC/NO outputs.
Common options: 12 VDC, 24 VDC, 110 VAC, or 220 VAC depending on model.
It’s risky; pin numbering and logic vary—always follow manufacturer pinout.
Yes—use a SP or DP MCB/RCCB rated for coil and load currents.
Apply coil voltage to start delay, contacts change after set duration.
