Relays A relay is an electrically operated switch that uses a lowpower control signal to open or close one or more power circuits. It provides electrical isolation between control and load sides, enabling safe and remote switching of powerful equipment. Key benefits Safe control of current devices with a small control signal Electrical isolation between control electronics and power circuits Easy integration with microcontrollers, PLCs, and automation systems Flexible configurations to match different loads and control needs Compact and robust design suitable for spaceconstrained panels Core attributes Function: switches circuits on and off; available in common configurations such as SPST, SPDT, DPDT, and normally open or normally closed variants Compatibility: designed for standard control signals; supports AC and DC loads; compatible with common control systems Size: compact form factor for board or panel mounting; lightweight and easy to install Material: encapsulated or housed construction with insulated coils and durable contact materials Performance: reliable switching with fast response; good electrical isolation; suitable for a range of temperatures and duty cycles per model Applications 1) Home automation: control lighting, fans, or appliances from a microcontroller or smart hub 2) Industrial control: sequence motors, heaters, or pumps in a control panel or machine 3) Power management: isolate loads in solar or battery systems for remote monitoring and safety Notes Variants may include different coil voltages, contact configurations, and load ratings.
