🔌 Relay 12V 10A – 5 Pin (PCB Type)
A 12V relay is an electrically operated switch.
The coil runs on 12V, and the contacts can switch up to 10A load (usually at 250VAC or 30VDC).
This type is commonly used in:
-
Arduino / microcontroller projects
-
Motor and pump control
-
Smart home switches
-
Power supply switching
-
Car electronics (if PCB-mount automotive relay)
⚡ How It Works
-
When no power to the coil → 30 connects to 87a (NC).
-
When 12V applied to coil → relay switches → 30 connects to 87 (NO).
-
This allows you to control high-power devices using a small signal.
