Square D 8501NR41 Relay Socket 5 Pin 300 Vac 15 Amp

Product Description

The SQUARE D 8501NR41 is a 5-pin spade relay socket rated for 300 volts AC and 15 amps, designed to provide a secure, field-replaceable mounting point for compatible plug-in relays. The socket accepts spade-style relay bases and connects via screw clamp terminals, making wiring connections straightforward and reliable in control panel environments. At 0.08 pounds and measuring 4.1 inches in length, 1.2 inches in width, and 1 inch in height, this compact socket fits efficiently into tight panel layouts. It is installed by electricians and controls technicians working on industrial and commercial control systems.

This relay socket is suited for use in industrial control panels, machine automation enclosures, and building automation systems where DIN rail or panel mounting is required. The dual-mount design supports both DIN rail and direct panel mounting, giving installers flexibility depending on enclosure configuration. Screw clamp terminals allow secure conductor termination without specialized crimping tools, which is practical in retrofit and new-installation work alike.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or qualified controls technician. De-energize the control panel and verify absence of voltage before removing or installing the socket. Conductor terminations should comply with NEC requirements for the wire gauge and circuit rating in use. Confirm relay base pin configuration matches the socket before seating the relay.
