Mercury Relay Switches & Contactors from Mercury Displacement Industries

 

Mercury Relay Switches

Mercury relays, also called mercury displacement relays or mercury contactors, are highly durable and resilient high-current mercury switches. A Mercury switch is instrumental in the process heating equipment industry due to its capability in handling high temperatures and dirty, demanding environments.

The Advantages of a Mercury Switch Over Conventional and Solid State Relays

Mercury has good electrical conductivity and adheres to a variety of materials, making it a reliable contact material. A mercury-wetted relay consists of mercury contacts held within a hermetically sealed steel, epoxy-encapsulated body. This makes the unit resistant to corrosion, water, dust, breakage, and extreme temperatures. The unit’s unique configuration protects the contacts from external arcing.

Mercury relays also promise consistent switching, since there’s only one coil for each set of contacts. Mercury relays are prized in high-volume assemblies for their unique construction, long life, and ability to switch currents silently and frequently, without damaging mechanical devices.
