ACV32224 Relays

3 Working PrincipleThe ACV32224 is a traditional automotive relay. It is activated by an electrical signal that causes an electromagnet to close the circuit controlled by the relay. This type of relay is switchable in either an “on” or “off” position. The ACV32224 is designed using two form-C (SPDT) contacts that are connected to the relay coil via a diode capacitor network. This diode capacitor network provides additional protection against voltage spikes, and the two form-C contacts are designed to switch the current in both directions. At its simplest level, the ACV32224 operates by transitioning between its two internal switch points. In its “on” state, the contact between the two terminals is closed, and electricity can flow through it. In its “off” state, the connection between the terminals is not closed, and electricity cannot flow. This allows the ACV32224 to be used for a range of different purposes, such as controlling the current flowing through different electrical components.
