Summary

The RMB solution; fast, flexible, compact and reliable

Based on the D-U relay Mors Smitt introduces the RMB compact series. A modular switching solution with up to a staggering 40 D-U relays, freely configurable, with all 160 C/O contacts on front-side connectors, housed in a 19” concept only 3U high.

Easy marshalling / cross wiring inside the box enables last minute changes to the circuitry. Connections are wired not on PCB, thus enabling 10 A continuous current on ALL circuits and 200 A (@10 ms). No waiting for PCB’s manufacture, no special testing, just change and apply. The relays are plugged in a special socket, making it quick and easy to exchange them, even to change into a timer or latching relay.

After design freeze, the wiring schematics and installation are tested and certified by our full automatic testing computer. Thus guaranteeing supply of a 100% correct set and Line Replaceable Unit.

All contacts are frontside connected. The train wiring is connected through connectors with a keying code, ensuring faultless installation and replacement.

Each of the relays is pluggable, making cost efficient replacement easy.

Customer specific

The concept is versatile, RMB40 houses 40 relays. In cases where less relays are required, or less space is available, the RMB20 might suit the requirements. In every case, the benefits remain: flexible, fast and, through our certified testing methods: very, very reliable.

The relay

Currently there are 10 million D-U rolling stock relays in service world-wide. This tried and tested electro mechanical work horse has proven its worth in all climates and all applications from 1 mA to 10 A.

The D-U has a contact rating of 10 A and has proven to reliably break 7 A at 110 VDC at all of its 4 C/O contacts, due to its magnetic arc blow-out. With timers and latching relays on the same plug-in concept, it is the versatility of this relay concept that makes it the GoTo, safety- and general purpose relay for many rolling stock engineers around the globe.
