MG-6 Relays
MG-6 Relays
(OP)
Are the old multi-contact MG-6 relays still being specified? Is there something a little more modern (smaller) which can be used to replace the MG-6? This is 6 contacts rated for 30A for 1 minute (@12VDC) and 3A@125VDC for one minute. Continuous rating is 12A. Thanks for any suggestions.

This type of component is very conservatively rated and intended to be maintainable for long-life, high-reliability tripping duty. That, and they are intended to be used with tools like a diamond contact burnisher.
Typical application is with groups of single-function electromechanical protective relays like KD- or HU-series. Space-age, compact, sealed capabilities are not prime requirements for these devices.
For basic switchgear applications, something like an E-max Instruments assembly may do the work with similar reliability but using less panel space.
