Normally Open Relay Wiring

The iso mini relay we have looked at above has 4 pins or terminals on the body and is referred to as a make break relay because there is one high current circuit and a contact that is either open or closed depending upon whether the relay is at rest or energised.

Normally open relay wiring.

Normally open no contacts allow current when the relay or contactor is energized. When a relay is off the common is connected to the nc normally closed. So when wiring up these relays the coil wire s will connect to pins 2 7 on the socket. Pin s 1 3 as normally open pin s 1 4 as normally closed.

Starter kill normally open. When the relay turns on the common move from nc to no. You will notice that the load appears between the 0v blue and switching wire black. The other pole has.

The no normally open spst single pole single throw relay has an opened circuit state when no current is applied to its coil so basically it disconnects the power to the load in the inactive state. This normally open starter kill relay application below relies on a ground from the alarm when disarmed and 12 volts from the ignition to enable the driver to start the vehicle. The no normally open connection of the relay is not connected until the relay turns on. When current is applied to its coil the generated magnetic field switches the armature and closes the contact so you can say that it turned on the load fan light bulb etc.

Mechanical relays create a clicking sound that indicates movement o the common terminal. The 0v blue will be attached to the common input and the switching wire black will be attached to the input number. Relays and contactors have two types of contacts each suited for different applications. How to wire automotive spdt relays.

See my switch terminology page for more on contact arrangements if you need to. Most alarms with this feature will not provi. When connecting to the plc the plc input acts as the load. Pin s 8 6 as normally open pin s 8 5 as normally closed.

In this episode we will see construction and working of relays and the different types of relays such as normally open and normally closed. The following is a wiring diagram of an open collector pnp sensor. The lamp will energize only if someone presses the switch holding its normally open contacts in the closed position normally open switch contacts are sometimes referred to in the electrical industry as form a contacts. We can tell this switch is a normally open no switch because it is drawn in an open position.
