Hi i have a 20A 12V SPST PCB mount relay, and i can't seem to get the thing to work, would someone be able to tell me what wires go where an what current supply i need for the "switching"?
my supply voltage is 12V, i think my "load" connects to the top pins?
It means you supply the 12V to pins 1 & 2 on the PC board side and the 160Ω coil will operate normally drawing 75ma of current when energized. The contacts are pins 3 & 4 on the top of the relay going to the load. When the relay energizes, the normally open contacts will close.
EDIT: To be clear, the 12V goes to one side of the relay coil and the common to the other side of the coil. The load contacts are in series with the load.
