What is the nomenclature for an 120V AC-powered timer module that turns on its load when power is first applied, keeps the load turned on during the timing interval (5min), and then turns off the load even though power remains applied to the timer.

 

Are you looking for a "time delay relay"?

 

Are you asking for the official term??

"A delay timer" ?

It's called an "interval on relay" . Here is a link explaining the different types of delay relays - http://www.macromatic.com/support/kb/kb.php?kba=kba116tdr

 

We call 'em "on-delay timers"

 

Off delay timer.

TOD, or time off delay

 

We manufacture the control boards for a relay manufacturer. They call them "delay on release" from the mil spec.

 

Thanks for the responses. Seeing them explains why I was confused. I think that ShortBus has the answer....
