    Relays are essential components in various electrical systems, acting as switches that control the flow of electricity through a circuit. Among the many types of relays, the 12V relay is particularly popular in automotive, industrial, and home appliance applications. In this article, we will explore the basics of 12V relays, their working principle, and the significant contributions of Meishuo, a leading manufacturer, in advancing relay technology.

    What is a 12V Relay?
    A 12V relay is an electromagnetic switch that allows a low-voltage control circuit to switch a higher voltage or current circuit. The "12V" in its name refers to the voltage required to energize the relay coil, typically 12 volts DC (direct current). When the control circuit applies 12V to the relay, an electromagnetic field is created within the coil, pulling a set of contacts together or apart to complete or break a circuit. This enables the relay to control devices that require higher voltage or current than the control circuit can provide.
