Easy-to-understand explanations of the unknowns when using high-capacity power relays

OMRON relays are used in a wide variety of products by our customers, and there are a wide range of design considerations, such as the counter electromotive voltage of coils, holding voltage, and the effects of magnetic fields when DC relays are used. To help you use OMRON relays more comfortably and easily, this page provides easy-to-understand explanations of the most frequently asked questions.

High Capacity Power Relays


Classification

Power Relays over 2 Amps are electromechanical devices that turns a large load on or off through the use of a smaller control signal. The contacts on these devices have a rating of 2 A, 3A, 3.5A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A, 7.5A, 8A, 8.5A, 9A, 10A, 11A, 12A, 14A, 15A, 16A, 18A, 20A, 21A, 23A, 25A, 26A, 30A, 31A, 32A, 33A, 35A, 40A, 48A, 50A ,60A, 90A, 100A, 120A, 150A, 200A, 400A, 750A and possibly others.
