The schematic shows that the relay coil activates with 12 v DC however it appears that the relay contacts can handle a different voltage. True?

Yes they can handle higher voltage but I would not go much higher than 12 volts higher voltage might ark and burn out .you don't know how large the contacts are and how far thay open apart.

Hello. I used mine for a 12V system. I am looking at one of mine that I haven't used yet right now.. there is no rating on it at all! Strange! The terminals on the end are not very big, like for a smaller gauge of wire that would be safe for a relay application but not large enough for 110 house wire. It's actually made pretty nice. So..I'm sorry that I am not much more help. Good luck

Yes, it's just a mechanical contact closure. It doesn't care what type of voltage or signal it switches, within its current carrying capacity (25 amps). Break the hot wire (black) for the switching.

mine did NOT come with schematic or documentation of any kind. I would NOT expect it to operate a low current relay, the output will only trigger a logic level signal in the very low milliamp range. 0-5vdc

In a word, yes. A simple setup with your circuit connected to the relay. Just keep in mind the maximum amps that the relay can handle for AC/ DC and your circuit must supply its own power.

Correct. The relay is actually turned OFF ONLY at the zero cross point of the AC wave. It can be turned ON at any point in the wave depending on your needs, load, EMI requirements etc. So with DC it would turn on but not off (no matter what your control input) unless the DC voltage dropped to zero for whatever reason. Also It would likely NOT handle anything like the rated voltages(give as RMS) with DC load.

If you look at schematics, the relay has both normally open and normally closed group. Depending which contacts you use, you will have either normally open or normally closed relay.

Very little, about 2-3 amps from the look of the contacts. I strongly suggest using it to drive a relay anyways.

The chassis of the solenoid/isolator/relay does not act as a ground. If supplying a 12v+ pulse to one of the small terminals, you must provide ground to the other small terminal.

Yes you can. It can be used to switch anything electrical. just do not exceed the specs of the relay "Relay contact capacity: Cool 10A/250VAC;Heat 10A/250VAC".

Yes, compatible, make sure you wire up pin... 7? To be your 12vdc to your relay.

I am not an electrician but YES it for use in 12v systems as in a car. It is a timer relay that is in a low amp circuit to switch on and off the voltage to what ever needs the power. I am using mine to switch off and on a 12v low amp very small fan to keep air flowing over a PMD(Fuel supply Driver) in a diesel truck that is subject to over heating when engine is shut off. Check the amount of amperage that what ever circuit you are hooking it up to to see if it exceeds 5 amps. There are no instructions with it but I found out how to wire it by doing a google search. That took some time and head scratching.

Its a 12 volt relay. The 14 volts that is in the picture just means that it can handle up to a 14 volt sys. Most automotive vehicles have a 14volt charging sys. But everything works off of 12volts.

If I understand correctly: If you are using the motion sensor to control this relay, the motion sensor itself may not be giving the necessary voltage or output to operate it correctly. All I can add is to make sure you have the power leg and switch leg on properly. A multi-meter (reading volts) could help find your issue. Hope this helps.

Im not sure how much current the relay draws since i haven't measured it, but i have run the relay with a 5V standard GPIO directly without any adverse effects. This is with a Sanguinololu 1.3a PCB used in 3d printers. Essentially an Arduino.

In a portion of my design (trailer wiring system), I have a 400 Watt DC to AC converter which connects to a AC wall outlet in my trailer. I have a trickle charger hooked up, so not many watts drawn. This has worked for me so far. The main wires going through relay end up having AC power through them. The actuator in the relay is controlled by magnet (and I still use 12 volt to control relay), so the magnet portion of relay doesn't make direct contact with AC power. Can't say for sure on 24 volt if it will work, since I still use 12 volts to actuate magnet in relay. I actually disected a relay to see how it worked before building my system. I hope this helps.

The relay enables are DIGITAL, so 5V signals. Can use resistors in line to divide the voltage for 12V activation if desired. The RELAY outputs can carry 10 amps each up to 28VDC or 250VAC.
