Power Relays, Over 2 Amps

2960177, a type of industrial relay, is widely used in a range of applications. It features a design that allows for both AC and DC circuits to be controlled with just a single device. As such, it is often used in industrial applications where multiple currents are needed to be switched.

Application Field

The 2960177 Power Relay is typically used in industrial applications that require the control of medium power currents. In particular, it is commonly used in the manufacture of components for automotive applications, in military and defense systems, and in high-tech components for robotics, aeronautics, and other industries. This type of relay is also well suited for industrial process control applications, where accurate switching of AC and DC signals is critical.

Working Principle

At its core, the working principle of the 2960177 Power Relay is based on the idea of control of current. The relay is designed to switch the current in either AC or DC circuits, based on a predetermined set of conditions and settings. The actual switching action is made possible by the electrical contacts, which open or close depending on the input voltage received from the electronic control system.

To switch the current, the relay uses two coils—an external and an internal one. The external coil is activated by an electrical current, while the internal coil works together with a switch in order to control the voltage. In this way, when the external coil is activated, the switch will turn “on”, closing the circuit so the current can flow, and when the external coil is deactivated, the switch will turn “off”, opening the circuit so the current can no longer flow.

The use of two coils also allows the 2960177 Power Relay to be used in multi-circuit applications. By activating and deactivating the external coil, different circuits can be switched on and off independently—a feature that is especially useful in complex systems and large industrial facilities.

Conclusion

The 2960177 Power Relay is a versatile and highly reliable component, well suited for medium-power applications in many industries. Its two-coils design allows for AC and DC circuits to be independently switched, making it a great choice for complex circuitry and large-scale industrial processes.
