    Relays are critical components in various electrical and electronic systems. They function as electrical switches that allow a small current to control a larger current. One of the most important specifications when selecting a relay is its voltage rating, which determines its suitability for specific applications. In this article, we will explore the concept of relay voltage ratings, why they are crucial, and how Meishuo, a leading company in the field of relay technology, excels in providing high-quality relays for diverse applications.

Relay voltage rating

    What is Relay Voltage Rating?
    The voltage rating of a relay refers to the maximum voltage that can be applied to the relay's contacts without causing damage. This rating ensures that the relay can handle the electrical demands of the circuit it controls. There are typically two voltage ratings associated with a relay:
    Coil Voltage Rating: This is the voltage required to energize the coil, which activates the relay and causes its contacts to close or open.
    Contact Voltage Rating: This is the maximum voltage that can be safely applied to the contacts when the relay is in operation, whether it is switching an AC or DC load.
