ETC Introduces Foundry DIN Relay 12

ETC announces the Foundry DIN Relay 12, a compact, all-in-one DIN rail power switching solution designed to deliver reliable, flexible control for a wide range of applications.

Designed and built in Europe, the Foundry DIN Relay 12 is a cost-effective, relay-only solution ideal for work lights, house and lobby lighting, architectural loads, and LED-only lighting systems. The unit provides 12 independent switching channels in a single module with DMX built right in. 

Configuration is easy with built-in NFC capability, allowing for changes without applied power. Local mechanical override switches provide manual control of each channel, ensuring reliable commissioning and service.

Built on standard DIN rail switchgear architecture, the Foundry DIN Relay 12 installs easily in off-the-shelf enclosures or custom DIN rail cabinets, giving integrators the flexibility to design solutions tailored to project requirements. 

The unit delivers dependable remote power switching for more than just lighting, supporting a wide variety of connected devices. It features the same high-performance relay engine used in ETC’s European-designed Foundry Switch Panel, now available as a standalone module for integration into custom cabinets, production panels, and facility control systems. 

Released in 2025, the ETC Foundry Switch Panel is a relay-only 230 V solution made to meet the needs of European and other 230 V CE markets and has quickly become a go-to choice for specifiers and integrators. The panel provides reliable air-gap relay switching across 12, 24 or 48 circuits with flexible protection options, including RCD protection per group of four circuits or RCBO protection per individual circuit. With optional current monitoring and reporting, the Foundry Switch Panel provides tools for venues to intelligently manage their energy usage.

ETC Product Manager Simon Willeman says, “Foundry DIN Relay 12 is the heart of the Foundry Switch Panel. Its build quality, easy configuration and integration into the wider ETC controls ecosystem make ETC excited to offer this solution for users.”
