5V Relay Switch 5 Pin for Electronics

Description

5V Relay is most commonly used for switching device in electronics. It can also me used For Home Automation projects to switch AC loads.

5V Relay pin configuration

Pin Number	Pin Name	Description
1	Coil End 1	Used to trigger(On/Off) the Relay, Normally one end is connected to 5V and the other end to ground
2	Coil End 2	Used to trigger(On/Off) the Relay, Normally one end is connected to 5V and the other end to ground
3	Common (COM)	Common is connected to one End of the Load that is to be controlled
4	Normally Close (NC)	The other end of the load is either connected to NO or NC. If connected to NC the load remains connected before trigger
5	Normally Open (NO)	The other end of the load is either connected to NO or NC. If connected to NO the load remains disconnected before trigger

Features of 5V Relay

• Has a Trigger Voltage of 5V DC
• Nominal current of 70 mA
• It has a Maximum AC load current of 10A  at 250/125V AC
• In addition, has a Maximum DC load current of 10A at 30/28V DC
• Furthermore, Has a Compact 5-pin configuration with plastic moulding
• Operating time of 10msec and a Release time of  5msec

Applications of 5V Relay

• Commonly used in switching circuits.
• Also used For Home Automation projects to switch AC loads
• To add on that, used To Control (On/Off) Heavy loads at a pre-determined time/condition
• Moreover, used in safety circuits to disconnect the load from supply in event of failure
• Lastly, used in Automobiles electronics for controlling indicators glass motors etc.
