A 12V 60A relay is an electromagnetic switch that is activated by a 12V signal and is capable of handling a load of up to 60 amps. It allows a low current control circuit to manage a higher current, which is essential in systems where direct control of high-powered equipment is not feasible. These relays typically feature a coil that is energized by a 12V DC signal, causing the internal switch mechanism to close or open the circuit, depending on the design.

    Relays like these are used in a wide range of applications, from automotive systems like starting motors to industrial equipment, where they function as a bridge between a low-power control circuit and a high-power load.
