ICM ControlsICM102 Delay-On-Make Timer with 03-10 Minutes Adjustable Delay, 18-240 Vac, 1.25" Height, 2" Width 2" Length, Multicolor

I bought these so as to use them for a "soft start" on a DC to DC converter. They seem to do the job, are easy to connect, and inexpensive.

Product fit and worked as required, AC system back to operating properly and price point could not be beat.

The last time I replaced the delay timer in our A/C compressor unit was exactly two years ago. I had used this exact same product with a different vendor's name imprinted on it. It lasted two years only whereas the original part had functioned well (under the same conditions) for over 8 years. We will see how long this new replacement lasts. In any event it works well for the time being.

I tested one, and it worked as described. When power is applied to timer, the output is delayed for the time set with the dial. Except that I had 21VAC connected to one side, without a load. When the timer switched on, the genie left the board, and the timer stopped working. I dissected timer in an attempt to repair. Seems like a discrete tranny was fried, but a solid resin coating sealed everything, so no repair possible. Fortunately, I got 3 timers.

This is a great low cost easy to wire time delay circuit controller. When power is applied to the input, the time delay begins. After the time delay is complete, the load energizes and remains energized as long as power is applied. The control is reset by removing power during or after the time delay period. Specifications are as follows:Input Line Voltage 18-240 VAC,Input Line Frequency 50/60 Hz,Output current maximum 1.5 Amps,Output current minimum 40 mAmps,Output current inrush 15 Amps,Time Delay .03-10 minutes adjustable

Fantastic product. Used as a maximum off cycle timer in an ice cream machine and works great under large loads. 6 months and counting.

I use it to stagger the start of some attic fans operated on the same switch. Works perfectly.

Tested with light load and found ok. To install for my tv
