Power relays are electromechanical devices utilized to control the high power circuits on a printed circuit board (PCB). In the simplest terms, a power relay triggers a circuit to turn on or off by releasing the power from a power source. Accordingly, a power relay\'s application field can range from automotive sectors to industrial automation and home automation.

Power relays for applications over two amps generally come in the form of DIN mounted, PCBs and plug-in types. The most popularly used are the DIN mounted types, which includes the 2.5 and 4 amp types, and the 5 to 10 amp types, all with or without switchable contacts. In general, all these relays come with a selection of opto or mechanical contact switching as well as selectable forms of contact material and mounting hardware.

The mechanics of a power relay over two amps encompass the coil or armature-operated type of electromechanical contactors or power relays. The relay has an armature which creates a magnetic field when energized with alternating current (AC). This field then creates a mechanical motion that causes the contacts of the relay to close or open according to the application. The material used in the contacts decides the type of electric current the power relay can carry.

The application fields of power relays over two amps range from motor control to home automation. These relays are found in a wide variety of industrial, manufacturing and commercial applications, such as the switching of large power supplies, thermostats and temperature controls, motorized valves, factory automation devices, variable speed drives, and up/down counter applications. Power relays over two amps are also commonly used for window and door sensors, fire alarms, and emergency lighting in commercial and industrial settings.

The working principle of a power relay over two amps is fundamentally the same as any other relay - the winding energizes an electromagnet, which in turn closes or opens a set of contacts to control the associated circuit. The difference is in the size of the contacts and the amount of current being handled. Larger relays the size of a 2.5 or 4 amp relay may carry a current of up to 20 amps, whereas a 10 or 25 amp contact may carry up to 40 amps.

These devices provide an efficient and reliable way to control high power circuits, saving both power and cost, while ensuring safety and accuracy is maintained in the entire system. When choosing a power relay over two amps, it is important to consider the requirements for current, voltage, and coil resistance, as well as the required contact material.
