General Purpose RelaysUnsung Champions of Electrical Systems
What Are General Purpose Relays?
These Relays are intelligent switches that use reasonable amounts of power to control heavy-duty circuits. They connect the control and load circuits, constantly directing their electrical performance.
Key Elements:
Magnetic coil
Armature
Conductive contacts
When energized, the magnetic coil pulsates, and the moving component', the armature, is the electrical 'acrobat' that builds and breaks circuits. Conductive contacts operate as the circuit's on-off switches, regulating the amount of energy going through them.
How Do They Function?
1. Control signal awakens the coil
2. Coil weaves an invisible force field
3. Armature pirouettes, shifting contacts
4. Load circuit opens or closes its doors

Picking Your Perfect Relay Partner:
Think about whether it can evaluate the required power
Select the relay according to the speed required
Ask if it can handle a moist environment or not
Consider general purpose relays that can handle contact arrangements properly Did You Know? Joseph Henry invented relays in 1835, the first of which was
