AXE012M2 Relays - Overview and Application in South Africa
The AXE012M2 is a compact, general-purpose signal relay often used in industrial control panels, automation, telecom, and educational electronics. At Communica, South African buyers can source these relays locally, benefiting from known brand support (such as Panasonic), short lead times, and VAT-included pricing for business procurement or personal projects.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Typical Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Contact Form | DPDT (2 Form C) | Dual pole, dual throw |
| Coil Voltage | 12V DC | Check variant on product page |
| Contact Rating | 2A @ 30V DC / 1A @ 125V AC | Max switching |
| Mounting | Through-hole | PCB pin style |
| Manufacturer | Panasonic (various) | Communica stocks major brands |
Typical applications for the AXE012M2 include logic switching, low-signal routing, educational breadboarding, and prototyping for PLCs or test jigs. Thanks to its small size and reliable switching, it's popular in student projects and automation contracts alike. Be sure to reference the detailed datasheet linked from the product page for electrical curves and pinout diagrams.
Comparing AXE012M2 with Other Relays
When comparing the AXE012M2 to other PCB relays in local stock, consider dimensions, pinout, coil resistance, and load ratings. Communica also offers a wide array of alternate signal relays (Fujitsu, Omron, TE Connectivity) should your design require different current ratings or mounting formats.
Refer to the PCB and signal relays category to compare compatible options or check stock at the Samrand warehouse or your nearest branch.
South African Pricing and Availability
AXE012M2 relays are offered with VAT-inclusive pricing and ZAR invoices, enabling easy procurement for both businesses and educational institutions. Communica strives to keep these relays in local stock at main branches (Samrand, Pretoria CBD, Cape Town), with commercial account quoting available for bulk orders.

Purchasing AXE012M2: Selection and Compatibility Tips
- Double-check the required coil voltage (12V DC is most common for the AXE012M2, but variations exist).
- Review the datasheet for pinout and PCB layout compatibility. Some relays in this range may differ by a pin.
- Consider inrush and switching load: select relays with headroom for your control application to avoid contact wear.
- If your project is sensitive to signal integrity or EMI, check insulation resistance and contact material specs in the datasheet linked on product pages.
Specifying and Comparing: Practical Example
A typical selector scenario: A University of Pretoria engineering student needs 10x AXE012M2 for a lab PLC interface build. Requirements are 12V coil voltage, DPDT contact, PCB-mount, contact rating to switch 24V DC/1A relay solenoids. By searching Communica's catalogue, compatible stock with same-day branch pickup or courier is possible. VAT invoice is issued for research cost recovery.
Should an alternative be required, filter by coil voltage and footprint in the Relays category. For support, Communica technicians can recommend compatible relays from Panasonic, Omron, or Finder if supply chain issues affect lead times.
Need Accessories?
