HP50-295

Product Description:

The HP50-295 from Danaher drops into the Timers and Controllers class with a lineup built for managing automation where timing and load matters. The power range opens wide, running on 20-264 VAC/DC, so not locked into just one voltage setup. That kind of range lets it fit in factories or panels running a mix of supply lines. Running on AC, this controller keeps steady with a maximum continuous load current at 350 mA, while DC operation brings a 200 mA max. These numbers are important on lines where current swings without much warning.

Durability steps up too, since this unit keeps up with ambient swings from -25°C to +70°C. It's tough enough for equipment racks inside hot plants or in places that sit close to freezing. The on-state voltage drop tops at 5.7 V, which avoids wasting too much voltage when the circuit's closed. Power-up doesn’t hit instantly, as there’s a 9-second time delay baked in. This might not matter much for some jobs, but on automated lines, a delay stops sudden rushes that can trip other controls. The sense distance runs 0 to 8 mm, so it's got room for positioning, like near sensors or actuators that are never exactly flush.

Smaller loads don’t throw the controller either, with a minimum continuous load current at just 5 mA, and surge moments covered by a 2 A inrush current strength. There’s a soft touch with 1.5 mA of leakage current, avoiding unintended triggers down the line. Installation needs a watchful hand for wiring, but the voltage and frequency span means fewer worries around compatibility for AC (45-65 Hz) or simple DC setups (0 Hz). Put all that together and the HP50-295 brings stable performance for time-based switching. Its specs fit general machinery, conveyor lines, and energy-saving panels where durability, flexible input, and dependable on/off control show real value.
