G5LA-14-E-CF DC12

Power relays serve as an electric switch which is managed by another electrical current. When the relay receives a current, the switch is triggered, allowing a different current to pass through. Relays are typically used to control and switch higher power than microcontrollers can handle on their own. G5LA-14-E-CF DC12 is a popular power relay that is used in many electrical applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the G5LA-14-E-CF DC12.

Application Field

G5LA-14-E-CF DC12 is a sensitive power relay with both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contact outputs. It has a maximum rated current of 12 Amp and 2 Amp rated for resistive loads. It is used for applications such as heating or cooling element control, automotive applications like start/stop buttons, electronic fuel control, and other automotive lighting switches. This power relay is also commonly used in high power applications that need to switch a high-voltage current like AC motors, pumps, solenoids, and other digital control systems.

Working Principle

G5LA-14-E-CF DC12 works by being triggered by a low voltage current. When the voltage is applied to the control coil, an electromagnet is created. This electromagnet attracts a set of contacts and completes the circuit, thus allowing the higher voltage current to pass through. When the control voltage is removed, the electromagnet is deactivated and the relay is reset, blocking the high voltage current. This cycle of activation and resetting occurs continuously, allowing the user to switch the high voltage current as desired.

G5LA-14-E-CF DC12 power relay is a reliable and efficient way to switch and control higher current. It is used in many different industrial, automotive, and digital control applications. Though the working principle is simple, the device delivers great performance and power management.
