I have a Magnecraft W250ACPX_9 octal relay - 120VAC, rated continuous duty. It's the style that has the clear plastic dust cover.
The only part that gets hot is the screw head that connects to the coil and is exposed to the exterior of the dust cover.
I've let it remain engaged for at least 24 hours at a time and the screw head gets hot enough so I can hold my finger on it for only a few seconds. The plastic dust cover is barely warm, even in the immediate area around the screw head.
I'm assuming this is normal but I wanted to check with those who have more experience with this type of relay.
Thank you!
