Omron LY2-D-DC12 General Purpose Relay, Diode Surge Suppression Type, Plug-In/Solder Terminal, Standard Bracket Mounting, Single Contact, Double Pole Double Throw Contacts, 75 mA Rated Load Current, 12 VDC Rated Load Voltage

This Omron LY2-D-DC12 general purpose relay has a built-in diode for surge suppression, plug-in terminals, mounts to a standard bracket and is suitable for use in low current applications. This relay has double pole double throw (DPDT) contacts, an input current rating of 75 mA and a load rating of 24VDC at 10 amp, with an input of 12VDC. It has a built-in diode for surge suppression, plug-in terminals for connecting to a socket and mounts to a standard bracket on a flat surface. This general purpose relay has a compact design and is suitable for use in installations with limited space.SpecificationsContact FormDPDTInput Current Rating75 mAInput Voltage12VDCLoad Rating24VDC, 10 ampDielectric Strength2,000VACOperating Temperature-25 to +55 degrees CEnclosure Dimensions*35.6 x 21.6 x 27.9mm (H x W x D)Standards MetUL (Underwriter's Laboratories)CSA (Canadian Standards Association)IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)*H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.Relay switches (also called an electrical relay or an electrical relay switch) use a small amount of power to control a larger source of power connected to electrical devices such as car motors, computers, and lighting installations. A basic relay switch has a control circuit with an electromagnetic coil and a load circuit with contacts and a lever. When current flows into the relay switch, it moves through the coil and a magnetic field is created, which causes the lever in the load circuit to move between contacts, either turning the device on or off. In a normally open (NO) relay switch, when power is supplied to the relay, the load circuit is closed and the power source connected to the relay is turned on. In a normally closed (NC) relay switch, when power is supplied to the relay, the load circuit is open and the power source connected to the relay is turned off. In other types of relay switches, non-moving parts such as transistors or semiconductors can be used as the control circuit to operate the switching mechanism. Relay switches can be controlled with an external switch, such as a light switch, or they can be connected to an automatically switched power source, such as a car ignition. One relay can operate multiple switches, and multiple relays can be operated with a single switch, with each relay operating independently from the other relays in the system.Omron manufactures and distributes electronic components, equipment, and systems for industrial automation. The company, founded in 1933, is headquartered in Kyoto, Japan.
