Weidmuller FS 2CO relay socket with 2 changeover contacts is a compact DIN-rail interface designed to securely mount and connect D-SERIES DRM relays in industrial control systems. Rated for up to 12 A at 300 V AC, it delivers reliable switching performance while maintaining a flat, space-saving profile for high-density control panels. The screw connection design supports a wide range of conductor sizes, ensuring stable electrical contact and consistent wiring quality. Built for long-term industrial use, the FS 2CO is suitable for automation cabinets where reliability and serviceability are critical.

The FS 2CO relay socket improves control panel efficiency by combining flexible changeover contact functionality with strong electrical insulation and mechanical stability. Its configuration allows a single relay to handle multiple switching tasks, helping reduce component count and simplify circuit design. Broad temperature tolerance enables dependable operation in demanding environments, while standard DIN-rail mounting speeds up installation and maintenance. For machine builders and automation engineers, the FS 2CO supports cleaner panel layouts, reduces wiring errors, and enhances long-term system reliability in industrial switching and control applications.

Why Weidmuller FS 2CO?

The Weidmuller FS 2CO stands out because it balances industrial-grade switching capability with a compact, panel-friendly design. Its dual changeover contacts provide flexibility that simplifies control logic without adding extra components. Designed for consistent wiring quality and mechanical stability, it integrates cleanly into DIN-rail systems and supports long-term operation under demanding conditions. For engineers who value reliability, clarity, and efficient panel layout, the FS 2CO offers a dependable foundation that supports both current needs and future system expansion.

What problem does it solve?

In many control cabinets, relay installation becomes complex due to limited space, inconsistent wiring, and the need to switch multiple circuits reliably. The FS 2CO addresses these challenges by providing a stable relay socket that securely handles higher currents while maintaining clear separation between control and load circuits. Its changeover contact design reduces the number of required components, simplifies troubleshooting, and improves overall system uptime, making it ideal for automation panels where space efficiency and operational reliability are critical.

The Applications

1. PLC Output Expansion in Automation Control Panels

In automated production systems, programmable controllers often need to switch higher-power devices such as contactors, valves, or signal lamps. The FS 2CO relay socket is commonly used to mount interface relays that separate sensitive controller outputs from load circuits. Its two changeover contacts allow engineers to implement multiple switching conditions with a single relay, reducing wiring density inside control cabinets. The stable screw terminals maintain reliable electrical contact even under vibration, helping prevent intermittent faults. This approach improves system reliability, simplifies maintenance, and supports consistent machine operation in continuous industrial environments.

2. Auxiliary Circuit Control in Industrial Machinery

Machine tools and packaging equipment rely on relays to manage auxiliary power, interlocks, and control signals. The FS 2CO relay socket supports these tasks by handling continuous current while maintaining a compact footprint on the DIN rail. Its changeover contact arrangement enables fail-safe logic, allowing equipment to default to a safe state during power loss or fault conditions. The standardized mounting method simplifies panel layout and allows rapid relay replacement during servicing. This results in reduced downtime and improved operational safety for machinery operating in demanding production settings.

3. Signal Isolation in Building and Facility Automation

In building automation systems, control electronics must be protected from electrical noise generated by motors, pumps, and lighting circuits. The FS 2CO relay socket is used to isolate control signals from field devices while maintaining reliable switching performance. Its insulation characteristics help reduce the impact of voltage transients and interference. The compact housing fits easily into space-constrained distribution panels, while the dual changeover contacts provide flexibility for different control strategies. This makes the solution well suited for HVAC, lighting, and energy management applications requiring long-term reliability.

4. Monitoring and Alarm Switching in Process Systems

Process installations such as water treatment or utility monitoring systems depend on stable relay interfaces for alarms and status signaling. The FS 2CO relay socket provides a dependable mechanical and electrical base for these relays, supporting operation across wide temperature ranges. Secure wiring reduces the risk of loose connections in continuously operating environments. The ability to switch multiple signal paths with one relay simplifies system design and improves clarity during inspections. This contributes to higher uptime and dependable monitoring in critical process and infrastructure applications.
