Wiring Diagram for Hooking Up the Relay
Make sure you are using a switch and wires sufficient to handle the power that you are carrying. In higher draw applications, a relay may be needed. Always use a fast blow fuse of rated amperage. Use terminals of good enough grade to handle the amperage in switch to avoid heat and damage.
Power Rating for the Switch
- 12VDC: 20AMP
- 24VDC: 10AMP
To avoid short circuit, wrap the conductive pins on the switch with insulation tape.
Diagram Description
The diagram illustrates the connection of a relay in an electrical circuit. The switch is connected to the relay, which in turn is connected to a device. The power from the battery passes through a fuse before reaching the relay. The numbers 30, 85, 86, and 87 represent the pins on the relay.
FAQs
- What should I do to prevent a short circuit?
- To avoid short circuit, wrap the conductive pins on the switch with insulation tape.
- Is a relay necessary for all applications?
- In higher draw applications, a relay may be needed to handle the increased power.
- What type of fuse should I use with this switch?
- Always use a fast blow fuse of the rated amperage for your application.
- What are the power ratings for the switch at 12VDC and 24VDC?
- At 12VDC the switch can handle up to 20AMP, and at 24VDC it can handle up to 10AMP.
