Relays have been an integral part of electrical and electronic systems for decades. A relay is an electrically operated switch that uses an electromagnet to control the opening and closing of electrical contacts. Its ability to manage circuits by controlling higher power with a low-power signal has made it indispensable in a wide range of applications. From simple electrical switches to complex control systems, relays continue to impact various industries. This article explores the diverse relay application areas, highlighting how these devices have revolutionized communication, automation, and control systems.
