Kenbo Xiaobian explains what kinds of electromagnetic relays
Electromagnetic relay
Electromagnetic relays are generally composed of iron cores, coils, armatures, contact springs, and the like. As long as a certain voltage is applied to both ends of the coil, a certain current flows in the coil, thereby generating an electromagnetic effect, and the armature will absorb the pulling force of the return spring against the iron core under the action of the electromagnetic force attraction, thereby driving the armature. The moving contact is in contact with the stationary contact (normally open contact). When the coil is de-energized, the electromagnetic suction force also disappears, and the armature returns to the original position in the reaction force of the spring, so that the movable contact and the original static contact (normally closed contact) are released. In this way, the suction and release are achieved, thereby achieving the purpose of turning on and off in the circuit. For the "normally open, normally closed" contacts of the relay, it can be distinguished as follows: a static contact that is in an open state when the relay coil is not energized, called a "normally open contact"; a static contact that is in an on state It is a "normally closed contact". Relays generally have two circuits, which are low voltage control circuits and high voltage working circuits.
solid state relay
The solid state relay is a kind of four-terminal device with two terminals as the input terminals and the other two terminals as the output terminals. The isolation device is used to realize the electrical isolation of the input and output.
Solid state relays can be classified into AC type and DC type according to the type of load power supply. According to the switch type, it can be divided into normally open type and normally closed type. According to the isolation type, it can be divided into hybrid type, transformer isolation type and photoelectric isolation type, and the photoelectric isolation type is the most.
Thermal reed relay
The thermal reed relay is a new type of thermal switch that uses temperature sensitive magnetic materials to detect and control temperature. It consists of a temperature-sensitive magnetic ring, a constant magnetic ring, a reed switch, a thermally conductive mounting piece, a plastic substrate, and other accessories. The thermal reed relay does not use coil excitation, and the magnetic force generated by the constant magnetic ring drives the switching action. Whether the constant magnetic ring can supply the magnetic force to the reed switch is determined by the temperature control characteristics of the temperature sensitive magnetic ring.
