time delay relay

RS?

style units.

It's always worth checking Ebay - I've found all sort of useful electronic components there at very acceptable prices. Alright some of them are coming in from China but I've never had any problems with that.

Would item 260400961413 on Fleabay be worth a punt?

"Five minute delay timer" brings up loads of hits

OK, but this is a DIY group...

Is it not possible to devise some kind of mounting to be able to use commonly-available parts? Perhaps saw a short length of DIN rail to suit? Heck, even RTV the damn thing to the back of the enclosure.

Perhaps a photo of the physical constraints?

I've used similar devices before, and I have to say, 'RS' and 'DIN Rail' were the first thing that sprang into my mind whan I saw your post. Is it not possible to adapt something off-the-shelf like this?

Goto Farnell, search for "Delay Timer, select "On Delay", and you get to 105 products, one of which is an Omron device

Could you not just slap it in an enclosure:

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember The Wanderer saying something like:

Stick it in a Hagar box.

Thanks for the replies. The key word was encapsulated. It's going in a fairly hostile environment that is also fairly restricted for space.

There's the Amperite ST1 which is a solid state delayed-on relay - you can't get much more encapsulated than that (except it has exposed spade terminals - one pair for the load, one pair for a delay-setting pot or resistor)

You could just ask the US Manufacturer if they'll send you one in the post so you can "test it before speccing it in a large project that will need hundreds ;-)". For something that small and light, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Depends on how restricted your space is I guess. No room for a weatherproof enclosure like?:
