Schneider Electric RUZSC3M Socket for RUMC3 Relays

RUZSC3M relay socket: what it is

RUZSC3M is a 12 A separate-contact socket for three-pole RUM relays. In the Schneider Electric Harmony Electromechanical Relays range it belongs to the RUZ socket line, and the datasheet records the compatible relay as: Plug-in relay RUM with 3 C/O contact.

A socket like this is the part of a relay installation that outlasts relays: it carries the wiring, takes the clip-in relay and lets a failed relay be swapped without touching a single conductor. Sockets in this family look alike, so check the part number against the relay series and contact count before ordering.

Seven Star LLC supplies RUZSC3M in Oman and the GCC as an independent industrial supplier in Muscat; the datasheet we hold is dated 8 Nov 2026.

RUZSC3M technical specifications

Information to send with an RFQ

To quote correctly we need:

• Part number RUZSC3M and the quantity.
• The relay part number that will sit in the socket.
• Wire size, ferrule use and panel or rail mounting.
• Delivery location in Oman or the GCC and any project reference.

Typical use of RUZSC3M in Oman and the GCC

Typical uses are relay sockets where contact terminals should be kept apart and the free-air thermal current is the 12 A limit. Such panels are found in power stations, desalination plants, oil and gas facilities and building services across Oman, usually in air-conditioned rooms or sealed cabinets.

The datasheet limits operation to -40–55 °C and lists pollution degree 3 and overvoltage category III; heat build-up in sun-exposed enclosures and dust ingress through poor cable entries are the practical risks to design around.

Wiring and terminal details

The datasheet lists these conductor sizes for RUZSC3M: Connector, 1 × 0.25–1 × 2.5 mm² (22 AWG–14 AWG) flexible with cable end Connector, 2 × 0.25–2 × 1 mm² (22 AWG–17 AWG) flexible with cable end Connector, 1 × 0.5–1 × 2.5 mm² (20 AWG–14 AWG) solid without cable end Connector, 2 × 0.5–2 × 1.5 mm² (20 AWG–16 AWG) solid without cable end. Tighten to the value stated, which is < 1 N.m for M3.5 screw(s), and use ferrules on stranded wire in line with the flexible-with-cable-end entries.

The contact terminal arrangement is described as separate and the pin shape as cylindrical. That pin shape must match the relay, so the heavier body gives a solid hold on the rail.

Installation and maintenance notes

RUZSC3M can be fixed by panel screws or clipped onto a 35 mm symmetrical rail. The listed ambient range is -40–55 °C for operation and -40–85 °C for storage; IP20 on the socket means it belongs inside an enclosure.

Good practice is to identify each socket on the panel drawing, retorque terminals after the first thermal cycle, and inspect for discoloured terminals at routine shutdowns. A failed relay is replaced by unplugging it; the socket stays wired, which keeps downtime short.

Relays and parts that go with RUZSC3M

It is the separate-contact counterpart of RUZC3M, with a higher 12 A thermal rating and a heavier body. Both accept the same RUMC3 relays, so the choice depends on terminal arrangement and current.

For reference, the compatibility entry in the RUZSC3M datasheet reads: Plug-in relay RUM with 3 C/O contact. Where a project needs a time function, the RUW101MW multifunction timer module lists sockets of the RPZ and RUZ lines as compatible; check its own datasheet for the exact sockets that apply.

Selection and ordering checklist for RUZSC3M

Confirm the following before you order this unit:

• The relay type and contact count must match: this socket is for 3 C/O RUM relays.
• Current: the datasheet gives 12 A conventional free-air thermal current and operational voltage < 250 V.
• Width on the rail: 36 mm; net weight 0.1 kg.
• Wire sizes and whether ferrules are fitted, against the terminal table above.
• Packaging: the datasheet shows a sale quantity of 10, so confirm how many you need.
