Secop Diversitech 117U6011 Compressor Relay

The Secop Diversitech 117U6011 Compressor Relay is a heavy-hammer type starting component engineered for high-torque motor applications in commercial and residential refrigeration. Designed as a direct replacement for Danfoss 117U6011, this 4-contact relay is critical for initiating the start winding in high start torque (HST) compressors, such as the Secop SC12D series. It operates by detecting the current surge during startup, engaging the start capacitor, and then transitioning to the run circuit once the motor reaches operational RPM. Built with a durable white shell, this electromagnetic relay ensures precise switching and prevents compressor overheating or "clicking" failures caused by degraded contacts. Whether you are servicing a wine cooler, beverage dispenser, or reach-in freezer, maintaining the integrity of the compressor start relay is essential for protecting the motor windings against premature burnouts. This genuine HVAC repair part provides the exact electrical characteristics—including a 9.8A max pickup and 7.4A min dropout—required for consistent refrigeration compressor troubleshooting and restoration.

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Serves as a drop-in replacement for Danfoss and Secop 117U6011 series relays, ensuring matched electrical specs for HST compressor motors.
• High Starting Torque Support: Specifically designed for systems requiring robust initial torque to overcome high head pressures at startup.
• Precision Contact Switching: Features 4-pin contacts housed in a heat-resistant shell to minimize electrical arcing and extend the life of the compressor starter.
• Universal Application Utility: Compatible with various brands including Samsung, Kenmore, and Magic Chef when utilizing the heavy hammer type start relay configuration.

How do I know if my 117U6011 relay has failed?
Technicians often diagnose a failed relay when the compressor stays hot but won’t turn over, typically accompanied by a repeated "click" sound every few minutes as the thermal overload trips.

Is this relay compatible with 110V and 240V systems?
Yes, this component is designed to operate within standard refrigeration voltage ranges, though you should always verify the specific amperage draw of the compressor against the 9.8A max pickup rating.

Can this be used on compressors without a start capacitor?
The 117U6011 is primarily intended for High Start Torque (HST) configurations which typically utilize a start capacitor to assist the motor under load.
