Top Brands In Relays

Automotive Relays

Automotive Relays are specialised electromechanical switches meticulously engineered for vehicle applications, managing critical functions such as lighting, starting, and horn control.

Plug-In Relays

Plug-In Relays are designed for ease of installation and replacement, connecting seamlessly via a dedicated socket. These versatile components are extensively utilised in automotive applications for controlling diverse vehicle functions, including lighting, starting, horns, and heating and cooling systems. They also serve critical roles in time-delayed engine shutdown and high-current contact switching. The compact, modular design of plug-in relays facilitates flexible configuration of a vehicle's hard-wired electrical box, with common types such as ISO Micro, ISO Mini, and ISO Power relays available in various forms.

Power Relays

Power Relays are electromechanical devices engineered to switch high-current and high-voltage circuits, providing crucial electrical isolation between control and load circuits. Their operation relies on an electromagnetic coil, making them indispensable for demanding applications such as motor control, HVAC systems, and industrial automation.

Reed Relays

Reed Relays are miniature electromechanical switching devices distinguished by their hermetically sealed contacts. This design enables them to switch extremely low-level signals, ranging from femtoamps to nanovolts, while maintaining high insulation resistance and stable low contact resistance. They offer unique switching capabilities, rapid operation, and high reliability, making them well-suited for high-density PCB mounting and various RF applications. These relays are available in a range of enclosures and contact configurations, providing versatility for diverse electronic designs.

Relay Boards

Relay Boards are specialised circuit boards engineered to integrate and connect multiple relays, offering a compact and efficient solution for various switching applications. They are commonly employed in industrial control panels, automation systems, and other applications that demand high switching capability within a confined space.

Relay Modules

Relay Modules are pre-assembled units that integrate relays with their associated circuitry, effectively serving as amplifiers within control systems. These modules can incorporate various relay types, including both electromagnetic and electronic designs, and are specifically engineered to control larger circuits. They are widely employed in industrial applications, with design considerations often focused on optimising coil power efficiency and reducing heat dissipation. Relay modules are recognised for their reliability in diverse system environments.

Relay Accessories

Relay accessories are indispensable components that enhance the functionality, safety, and operational efficiency of various relay types. This broad category encompasses a wide array of items such as relay sockets, protective covers, heatsinks for thermal management, jumper bars for electrical connections, mounting hardware, and many more. Many of these accessories are designed for compatibility with standard DIN rail systems, facilitating organised and efficient panel installations.

Signal / Telecom Relays

Signal / Telecom Relays are specialised relays engineered for low-level current switching, typically handling signals, data, and voice applications with resistive loads up to approximately 2 amps. These relays are characterised by design features which ensure high contact reliability even with minimal signal loads. These relays are ideal for telecommunications and measurement systems.

Solenoids

Solenoids are electromechanical devices that efficiently convert electrical energy into linear motion, commonly functioning as actuators in various systems. They are frequently encountered as solenoid valve connectors, available in different sizes. Solenoids come in various versions, including hardwired or fully molded designs. Many are engineered with high IP ratings to ensure robust environmental integrity and are crucial for establishing safe electrical supply connections to equipment.

Solid State Relays

Solid State Relays (SSRs) are advanced electronic switching devices that employ semiconductor components in place of traditional mechanical contacts. SSRs are ideally suited for applications demanding precise, rapid switching of AC, DC, or bi-directional loads, and are available in various mounting and connection configurations to suit diverse integration needs.
