ADJ23012

Power relays have found widespread applications in switching of electrical circuits with loads higher than two amps, including a variety of industrial applications, such as motor starters, generator control, process control, agriculture, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Cooling) and even industrial instruments. ADJ23012 is a used for higher-power operations and is known for its standby current <8mA. The working principle of ADJ23012 is simple: a coil surrounding an iron core creates a magnetic field when current is delivered to it. This magnetic field interacts with a movable armature, or switch, inside the relay to open or close contact points within the relay.

A relay coil\'s bidirectional behavior illustrates the relay\'s ability to open and close contacts simply by switching the current flow. When current is driven through the coil in one direction, the magnetic field pulls the armature towards it, opening the contact points on one side and closing them on the other. When current is driven through the coil in the opposite direction, the magnetic field pushes the armature away from it, closing the contact points on one side and opening them on the other. This is what makes relays particularly useful in circuits with higher amperage ratings. ADJ23012 is designed to be highly reliable and is able to source contact current from up to 24A.

ADJ23012 is used in a wide variety of industries including automotive, medical, industrial manufacturing, and aerospace. In automotive applications, ADJ23012 is used to automate the powering up and down of systems such as audio/video systems, navigation systems, air conditioning, and windshield wipers. In medical applications, the same relay is used to control instrumentation that gives medical professionals an accurate and precise view into the human body, as well as the power up/down of some conventional medical tools.

In the industrial manufacturing process, the same ADJ23012 is used to automate the activation of motors, pumps, and other high-voltage motors that facilitate production. This helps create more consistent and reliable events in the production chain. The same relays are also used in aerospace applications, providing power to actuators, valves, pumps, and antennas as they move around in the air.

Finally, the ADJ23012 is designed to meet the high requirements associated with industrial and consumer electronics. It has been tested and certified for up to 8 million operating cycles, with a rated current of 24A. Its multi-layer protection ensures its ability to meet required safety levels. Additionally, its flexibility in terms of mounting holes and PCB designs make it a good choice for many applications.
