OMI-SS-124L,000

Power relays, which are also known as contactors, are devices used to switch and protect electrical circuits from overload or short-circuiting. OMI-SS-124L is a type of power relay designed for use in higher current applications, having a current rating of over 2 amps. It has a load rating of five Amps and is capable of switching up to three loads. The relay is compact and versatile, making it ideal for a range of applications.

Construction

The OMI-SS-124L is a single-pole/double-throw (SPDT) power relay, with a DPDT configuration. It has two pins for input, one for the coil which activates the relay and one for the load, which is connected to the output. The relay is enclosed in a plastic enclosure, with two metal contact strips at the bottom and a rated mechanical movement of 1,2 and 3N.

Applications

The OMI-SS-124L is versatile and can be used for many different applications. It is widely used in home appliances, automotive, HVAC and industrial control systems. It is suitable for control circuits, and can be used to switch motors, pumps, solenoid valves, lighting systems and air-conditioning systems. It can also be used for safety applications such as emergency stop switches and alarm systems.

Working Principle

The OMI-SS-124L operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When an electric current passes through the coil, a magnetic field is created around it. This field interacts with the magnetic field of the contacts, causing them to move and creating an electrical connection between the load and output terminals. When the current is turned off, the magnetic fields collapse, causing the contacts to return to their original position and thus breaking the electrical connection.

Advantages

The OMI-SS-124L offers several benefits over other types of relays. It is cost effective, requires less wiring, and offers both a cost-efficient and reliable switching solution. It is also more reliable when switching higher amperages, as compared to other relays, and is less prone to failure due to high amperage. Furthermore, the OMI-SS-124L is a compact and versatile device, making it ideal for use in many different applications.
