Independent electrical sourcing
time delay relay
Time Delay Relay Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner for US business buyers of industrial timing relays. A time delay relay is a control device that waits a stated interval before opening or closing a contact; it is not a consumer plug-in clock and not a solid-state power relay. Share the timing function, setting and range band, control voltage with AC or DC and frequency, contact arrangement, load duty, mounting, quantity and destination so factories can answer the same brief.

What a time delay relay request has to pin down
The family name is not the line item. On-delay, off-delay, interval, recycling cycle and multifunction programmable units can share a similar housing and still differ in function, stored-energy behavior, socket, and listed contact rating. Those differences stay the buyer’s decision; factories cannot infer them from the words “timer” or “relay” alone. Time Delay Relay Sourcing restates the duty, approaches factories that already catalog that combination, and lines up wholesale quotes on one written basis. We do not manufacture parts or keep a price list.
Delay accuracy belongs on the manufacturer datasheet for the offered model and the test conditions named there. It is not a family-wide promise copied from another listing. Isolation figures, IP markings at terminals versus housing, and temperature drift are the same: collect them per part number or leave the cell empty.
- Timing function in words (on-delay, off-delay, interval, recycling, or named multifunction set)
- Target setting plus the range band it must sit inside; bands are sold, not a continuous scale
- Control or supply voltage with AC or DC and frequency where AC
- Contact arrangement (for example 1 C/O or 2 C/O) and rated current in A, plus maximum switching voltage
- Load type the contact actually drives (coil, solenoid, lamp) including inrush character
- Mounting: plug-in with socket, 35 mm DIN rail width, panel cutout, or encapsulated
- Quantity, destination, and documents to confirm per model
Who buys this family, and what the request must contain
Project buyers
Work from a device schedule. A time delay relay on that schedule still needs function, timing band, coil voltage and socket before a factory quote is comparable. Delivery is requested timing, not a published lead-time table.
OEM builders
Need a body width that fits a fixed rail layout and terminals that accept the planned AWG. A multifunction programmable timer relay is not a drop-in for a single-function part unless the spare strategy says so.
Facility teams
Need a replacement that matches an existing socket and trigger wiring. Off-delay units that time after supply removal are not substitutes for parts that need a maintained supply and a signal contact. Field replacement and energization stay with the licensed crew.
Procurement questions and service boundary
What does your service cover?
Time Delay Relay Sourcing writes the electrical duty, searches factories that catalog that duty, and lines up replies so timing function, voltage, contact rating, mounting, quantity and delivery terms can be read side by side. We coordinate sample units when you name what the sample must demonstrate. We are not the manufacturer and not an appointed distributor.
What is outside your scope?
We do not design ladder logic, install DIN rail, energize control panels, or obtain local electrical permits. We do not sign process results such as “this delay will keep a motor from overlapping.” Solid-state power relays and consumer cycle timers are neighbouring families; they need their own briefs. No savings percentage against an unnamed market price is published.
How are documents handled?
Datasheets, listing status and marking files attach to the exact model offered. A family brochure is not a substitute. This round of research did not verify any for-sale model’s agency file, so this site carries no certification badges or file numbers.
