Component Name

SLA 12VDC 4Pin 30A Power Relay

Description

The SLA 12VDC 4Pin 30A Power Relay is a high-current, electro-mechanical relay designed for switching high-power loads in various applications. This relay is ideal for IoT systems, industrial control, and automation projects where reliable and efficient power switching is crucial.

Functionality

The SLA 12VDC 4Pin 30A Power Relay is a normally open (NO) relay, meaning that it connects the load to the power source when the relay is energized. The relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a set of contacts, and a spring-loaded mechanism. When a 12VDC signal is applied to the coil, the electromagnet energizes, attracting the armature and closing the normally open contacts. This connects the load to the power source, allowing current to flow. When the coil is de-energized, the spring-loaded mechanism returns the armature to its original position, opening the contacts and disconnecting the load from the power source.

Pin Configuration

  • SLA 12VDC 4Pin 30A Power Relay Documentation
  • Overview
  • The SLA 12VDC 4Pin 30A Power Relay is a high-current relay module designed for switching high-power devices. It features four pins and can handle up to 30A of current. This relay is suitable for a wide range of applications, including industrial control, automation, and IoT projects.
  • Pinout Description
  • The SLA 12VDC 4Pin 30A Power Relay has four pins, labeled as follows:
  • ### Pin 1: VCC (12VDC)
  • Function: Power supply pin
  • Voltage: 12VDC
  • Description: This pin provides power to the relay module. Connect a 12VDC power source to this pin to activate the relay.
  • ### Pin 2: IN (Input/Signal)
  • Function: Input signal pin
  • Voltage: Logic level (e.g., 3.3V, 5V)
  • Description: This pin receives the input signal to control the relay. Connect a digital signal (e.g., from a microcontroller or transistor) to this pin to toggle the relay on and off.
  • ### Pin 3: NO (Normally Open)
  • Function: Normally open contact pin
  • Voltage: Up to 30VDC
  • Description: This pin is the normally open contact of the relay. When the relay is de-energized (i.e., no signal on Pin 2), this pin is disconnected from Pin 4 (NC). When the relay is energized (i.e., signal on Pin 2), this pin connects to Pin 4 (NC).
  • ### Pin 4: NC (Normally Closed)
  • Function: Normally closed contact pin
  • Voltage: Up to 30VDC
  • Description: This pin is the normally closed contact of the relay. When the relay is de-energized (i.e., no signal on Pin 2), this pin connects to Pin 3 (NO). When the relay is energized (i.e., signal on Pin 2), this pin disconnects from Pin 3 (NO).
  • Connection Structure
  • To connect the SLA 12VDC 4Pin 30A Power Relay, follow these steps:
  • 1. Connect the power supply:
  • Connect a 12VDC power source to Pin 1 (VCC).
  • 2. Connect the input signal:
  • Connect a digital signal (e.g., from a microcontroller or transistor) to Pin 2 (IN).
  • 3. Connect the load:
  • Connect the load (e.g., a high-power device) to Pin 3 (NO) and Pin 4 (NC).
  • When the relay is energized, the load will be connected between Pin 3 (NO) and Pin 4 (NC).
  • When the relay is de-energized, the load will be disconnected.
  • Important Notes
  • Ensure the power supply voltage does not exceed 12VDC to prevent damage to the relay.
  • The relay can handle up to 30A of current, but ensure the load current does not exceed this rating to prevent overheating or damage.
  • Use proper wiring and insulation to prevent electrical shock or short circuits.
  • By following these instructions and guidelines, you can safely and effectively use the SLA 12VDC 4Pin 30A Power Relay in your IoT projects.
