A low-power relay is a type of switch that can control electrical circuits while consuming minimal energy. Relays are used to automate and control circuits in electronic and electrical systems. Traditional relays often consume a considerable amount of power to operate, which can be a limitation, especially in battery-powered or energy-conscious systems. Low-power relays, however, are designed with energy efficiency in mind, ensuring that they perform their switching tasks with minimal power consumption.

    How Do Low-Power Relays Work?

    Low-power relays function by using a small current to operate the coil inside the relay. When an electrical signal is applied, the magnetic field created by the coil activates the switch, allowing the relay to control the power supply to other parts of the circuit. The key difference with low-power relays is their design, which ensures that the amount of energy required to activate the relay is significantly lower than conventional relays. This is achieved through advanced materials, optimized coil resistance, and specialized design techniques that minimize energy consumption without compromising performance.
