Are the commonly available octal base industrial timer relays (NCC,
Dayton, ect.) compatible with a 12vdc load? Can find listings with 12vdc
coil (input or control circuit) but all the outputs are rated for some
motor HP rating, which I take to mean AC voltage. My load is a 12vdc
solenoid (10A draw) that activates a pneumatic cyl., the release of
which I need to time delay (delay on break).
If not, does anyone know of a combo timer-relay (min.adj. .01s,
max adj. 5s) that will work in this app.?
Have done a forum search, but did not find an answer.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice.

Easiest is to put a cap across the relay, adjust the value of the cap to
hold the relay for the extra time you need.

If you want precision, then use a 555 timer kit to drive the relay.

Or you can do some research, and scrabble up a 555 delay circuit yourself.
