Electromechanical Relays

Electromechanical relays are devices that use both electrical and mechanical components to switch electrical circuits on and off. The relay consists of a wire coil, a magnetic core, and one or more sets of contacts. When an electrical current flows through the coil, a magnetic field is created which moves the armature and attached spring, closing or opening the contacts and allowing current to flow through or be interrupted in the circuit.

Relays are commonly used in industrial applications for machine control and switching solutions. They can be designed for harsh environments and heavy-duty use, and their life expectancy can vary depending on the intended use and contact type. There are slightly different technologies used in relays, such as solid state relays and reed relays.

Electromechanical relays have some major differences from solid state relays, which use solid state components instead of mechanical contacts. One major difference is that electromechanical relays have moving contacts, which can experience contact resistance and wear over time. They can also have time delays in switching due to the armature movement. However, electromechanical relays can often reduce cost compared to solid state relays, especially for heavy-duty applications.
