An Industrial Timer Relay is a specialized relay that includes a built-in timer function, which delays the activation or deactivation of electrical contacts after a predetermined time. Unlike standard relays that simply open or close contacts in response to control signals, timer relays allow for timed delays or cyclical operations, making them indispensable in applications where precise timing is necessary for the efficient operation of machinery or processes.

    These relays can typically be set to various timing intervals, ranging from milliseconds to hours, depending on the application requirements. The basic function of a timer relay is to control electrical devices in a circuit after a specific delay or cycle, allowing industries to improve efficiency and reliability in automated systems.
