Product Overview
Potter & Brumfield PM-17DY-24 is a heavy-duty open-style power relay rated for 35A switching on four independent poles. The 4PDT (4 Form C) contact arrangement makes it suitable for polyphase and multi-circuit control applications where standard single- or double-pole relays are insufficient. The open-frame enclosure allows direct inspection of the contact mechanism and suits panel or chassis mounting. Screw terminals (#8-32) accept ring or fork lugs for secure high-current connections. Coil operates on 24VDC.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a 24VDC or 24VAC coil?
24VDC. Do not apply an AC control signal to this coil. An AC signal on a DC coil will cause chatter and coil burnout. Confirm your control system outputs DC before installation.
What are the contact ratings?
35A at 277VAC (resistive load) and 20A at 28VDC. These ratings are for the PM-17DY-24 specifically. Do not substitute a lower-rated relay in high-inductive load applications - contact welding can result.
Does this include a socket or mounting base?
No. This is the relay only. No socket, mounting base, or accessories are included. The PM-17DY-24 uses direct screw terminal wiring and chassis mounting - no plug-in socket is required.
What terminal hardware does this use?
#8-32 screw terminals. Ring or fork lugs are the standard termination method for conductors at this current rating. Verify your lug sizing matches the conductor gauge before installation.
The PM-17DY-24 is a documented industrial relay with a published datasheet. Cross-reference the Farnell/Newark datasheet for mounting dimensions and contact block pinout before installation in a new panel design.
