TOWARD TL216 240VAC 16A Power Relay – Industrial Electromechanical Switching Relay

The TOWARD TL216 is a heavy-duty electromechanical power relay designed for switching electrical loads in industrial control, automation, power-supply and equipment-control applications.

This version is identified by the markings TL216, 240VAC and 16A. Its high current switching capability makes it suitable for compatible equipment requiring reliable isolation and control of higher-power AC loads.

16A High-Current Switching

The TL216 is designed for applications requiring substantial contact-current capacity. With a marked rating of 16A, it can be used in compatible power-control circuits for switching loads such as heaters, motors, lighting circuits, power supplies and other electrical equipment.

240VAC Rating

The relay is marked 240VAC, making it suitable for compatible AC power-control applications. Actual allowable switching capacity depends on the type of load, contact configuration, operating conditions and the manufacturer's electrical ratings.

Electromechanical Isolation

As an electromechanical relay, the TL216 provides electrical isolation between its control/coil circuit and switched contacts, making it useful in control systems where a low-power control signal needs to operate a separate power circuit.

Replacement Applications

The TOWARD TL216 can be used as a replacement relay when repairing equipment originally fitted with the same relay model and electrical configuration.

For a correct replacement, compare the complete TL216 marking, coil voltage, contact arrangement, contact ratings, pin layout, physical dimensions and PCB footprint with the original relay.

Important Rating Information

The markings 240VAC and 16A should not automatically be interpreted as the relay's coil voltage. Relay housings commonly display contact/load ratings separately from the coil specification.

Before installation, verify the exact coil voltage and contact configuration printed on the relay or specified in the manufacturer's datasheet.
