This article presents a side-by-side introduction of the RXS2C and RXS2CN 8-pin relays in a first-person narrative, highlighting their differences in rated current, mechanical life, dielectric strength, and matching sockets. While both share the same dimensions and rated voltage, the RXS2C is designed as a compact, 10A relay for general control applications, and the RXS2CN is a heavy-duty, 12A relay with longer lifespan and higher insulation for demanding industrial use. The piece helps automation engineers, panel builders, and OEMs quickly identify the right relay for their project needs.
