Description
An industrial relay is an electrical switching device used in industrial applications to control and manage various electrical processes. It serves as a crucial component in automation, control panels, and machinery, allowing for the remote control of circuits and systems. Industrial relays come in various types and configurations to accommodate different requirements and environments. An industrial relay is designed to switch electrical circuits on or off. It acts as a remote-controlled switch, allowing a low-power control signal to control a higher-power load circuit. Industrial relays have one or more sets of contacts that open or close when the relay is energized. The contacts can be normally open NO, normally closed NC, or both.The relay s coil is the part that gets energized by a control signal typically low voltage, creating a magnetic field that operates the relay s contacts. Industrial relays are designed for easy mounting onto DIN rails, control panels, or other industrial equipment with the help of the socet type for every relay.When selecting an industrial relay, factors such as the type of load AC or DC, voltage and current ratings, should be considered.
