Description
The Circuitron 5624 ER-2 External Relay with DPDT Relay is the DPDT (double-pole double-throw) version of the ER-1 — two independent switched circuits from one detection-circuit input.
What it does: Same driver circuitry as the ER-1 (5604) but with a DPDT relay — handy for any situation where one trigger needs to switch two separate loads simultaneously, or for direction-reversal of a DC supply (one pole per rail).
- Relay type: DPDT (double-pole double-throw)
- Contact rating: 2 A (AC or DC) per pole
- Coil: 12 V
- Supply voltage: 11–14 V DC
- For: Two-circuit switching, DC reversing, dual-light layouts
- Circuitron SKU: 5624 (Walthers 800-5624)
About Circuitron: A USA-made model-railroad electronics specialist (Maryville, Illinois) founded in the 1970s. Famous for the industry-standard Tortoise slow-motion under-table switch machine and its surface-mount cousin the SMAIL. The full range covers detection (block detectors, Opto-Sensor grade-crossing logic), automation (auto-reversers, external relays, twin-coil alternators), signal / lighting electronics (alternating flashers, ditch-light oscillators, strobe drivers), power supplies, and a complete set of Tortoise / SMAIL replacement parts plus the solderless ZipZ connection system. Most circuits work with AC, DC, or DCC track power unless specifically noted otherwise.
