A Silver Alloy Contact Relay is a type of electrical relay that utilizes silver alloy materials for its contacts. The relay itself serves as an electromechanical device designed to open or close an electrical circuit. Silver alloys, typically composed of silver and other metals like copper, tin, or palladium, are chosen for their superior electrical properties, which enhance the relay's functionality. The primary role of the relay is to act as a switch, controlled by a magnetic coil, which, when energized, causes the relay’s contacts to move and either make or break a circuit.
