A relay is an electrically operated switch used to control a circuit by a low-power signal, which can operate a higher-power circuit without direct contact. The 12V 60A relay is designed to handle a 12-volt electrical input and manage up to 60 amps of current. This makes it an ideal solution for applications that require controlling high-power devices like motors, heaters, or large lighting systems without overloading the control circuits.

    The "12V" part of the name refers to the voltage at which the relay operates. This is a common voltage for automotive systems, as well as some industrial and residential setups. The "60A" indicates the maximum current the relay can safely handle, which is essential for high-power devices that demand more electricity to function. The relay functions by utilizing an electromagnet that, when energized, closes or opens a set of contacts, allowing the connected circuit to either complete or break.
