I was recently asked by my manager to help identify this component for a board repair. At the moment, I only have a photo of the part, so I don’t yet have access to the board to take measurements or check it with a multimeter.

The component is from a heater controller board — specifically a Watlow PM8C1EC-AAAAAAA — and the part itself is labeled “DTR.”

Any insight on what this component might be would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The MOSFET immediately to the right of the "DTR" part doesn't look too healthy, though the picture is very blurred. There appears to be a small hole/pit in the centre and some discolouration on the surface which could suggest an overheated or blown part.

If you are diagnosing or replacing this component, tell me:

* What symptoms or malfunctions is the circuit board showing?
* Have you tested the coil with a multimeter to verify its internal resistance?

I can provide diagnostic steps to confirm if the relay has failed.
