1A486

The 1A486 is a -pole general purpose relay from Dayton’s C Series, also known as an ice cube relay, designed to switch control and small-load circuits in HVAC, industrial, and OEM equipment. Its 8-pin plug-in design seats directly into a compatible socket, so it can be installed or replaced without tools and without disturbing the surrounding wiring. Rated for 10 contact current with a 12V DC coil, the 1A486 is well suited to applications where relays need to be changed periodically. Electrically, the 1A486 is a double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) relay, energized by a 12V DC coil to switch up to 10 per contact. Its contacts are rated 10A at 277V AC and 10A at 28V DC, and it is motor rated, supporting loads of up to 1/3 hp at 120V AC and 1/2 hp at 240V AC. A mechanical flag indicator gives a quick visual check of whether the relay is energized, helping technicians troubleshoot control circuits at a glance. Mechanically, the 1A486 uses an 8-pin octal-style layout that fits a socket code C base, and its clear housing allows the contacts to be inspected without removing the relay from service. It does not include a push-to-test button, which keeps the design simple and cost-effective for standard control applications. This makes the 1A486 a practical, easy-to-service choice for replacing an existing relay or building new control panels around a standard plug-in format.
