JQ1-18V-F

The JQ1-18V-F relay is a Power Relays, Over 2 Amps. Also known as General Purpose Relays, they are widely used in industrial and home appliance applications. In these applications, the output current of these relays typically ranges from 2A to 25A. The JQ1-18V-F is a specialized version of the JQ1 Series of relays and is suitable for a variety of standard and nonstandard applications.

The main application field of JQ1-18V-F relay includes the control and protection of electric motors and electromechanical equipment, as well as the indication of start and stop functions. It can also be used in control circuits, such as HVAC systems, lighting control panels, and industrial process control applications. This makes the JQ1-18V-F a widely versatile power relay.

Working Principle

The JQ1-18V-F relay employs an interlocking mechanism that subtly and non-visibly switches the electrical contacts at the same time. There are three main internal components, namely an electromagnet, a mechanical latch, and two electrical contacts. All these components work in conjunction with each other to achieve a simple but effective switching mechanism.

When the necessary current is passed through the coil of the electromagnet, it generates a magnetic field that attracts the armature. This causes the armature to move and the conical plunger follows it, compressing the mechanical latch that is connected to the armature. This releases the energy stored on the mechanical latch and transfers it to the electrical contacts, which then open or close to complete the switching circuit.

In summary, the JQ1-18V-F relay is a powerful switching device with a wide range of applications, suitable for a variety of standard and non-standard applications. The simple and reliable interlocking mechanism produces a reliable switching action that is suitable for controlling powerful circuitry.
