Relays and Relay Accessories

Relays are electromechanical switches in which the variation of current in one electric circuit controls the flow of electricity in another circuit.

Aerospace contactors are high-performance, high-capacity, circuit controls designed for aerospace applications.

Electrical contactors are used to switch high power in power circuits. Unlike relays, these electrical devices are normally connected directly to the load or current-carrying circuit.

Electromechanical relays are devices that complete or interrupt a circuit by physically moving electrical contacts into contact with each other.

High voltage relays are used to transfer power for high voltage and high frequency applications. They are heavily insulated and consist of strong materials to increase contact life.

Motor starters and contactors are motor-starting devices. They combine a contactor with overload protection and are designed for starting AC or DC motors.

Reed relays are electrically-operated switching devices that consist of two thin, magnetic strips (reeds) encapsulated in a glass envelope. They are used to switch industrial components such as solenoids, contactors and starter motors.

Safety relays and control modules differ from conventional relays in that they have force-guided or positive-driven contacts.
