Industrial Relays & Switches

Industrial control parts supply — encoders, cables and connectors

Relays and switches are the highest-count components in any control panel — and the cheapest to stock, the most annoying to run out of. An emergency stop button that will not latch or a relay module with a burned contact can hold an entire line hostage for a part that costs a few dollars.

TGK Parts stocks the full range: interface relays and relay modules, solid-state relays, time and safety relays, plus e-stop buttons, limit switches, push buttons and selector switches in standard 22 mm panel-mount formats.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact configuration should an e-stop button use?

Safety standards require positive-opening (direct-opening) NC contacts — normally 2NC for dual-channel monitoring. Never wire an e-stop through a standard NO contact.

Can I replace a safety relay with a normal relay?

No — safety relays have internally redundant, monitored circuits. Standard relays cannot achieve the required performance level; we supply replacements matched to your existing relay model.

Do relay modules fit standard DIN rail?

Yes — standard 35 mm DIN rail. Send us your existing module's wiring diagram or photo and we confirm a drop-in compatible replacement.
