Functional principle Relays are basically electrically operated switches which use an electromagnet to move a switching mechanism by switching one or more contacts. They are used where one or more load circuits need to be switched on or off by means of a control signal. Characteristic of the electromechanical relay is the complete (galvanic) isolation between the control and controlled circuits. Make relays Make relays are used to close an electric circuit between a power source and one or more electrical loads, i.e. the loads are switched on. Relays are operated by means of switches, pulse generators or control devices. Typical vehicle applications are headlights, auxiliary lights and fog lights, horns, heaters, air conditioner systems, etc. Change-over relays Change-over relays switch the load circuit over from one electrical load to another. These relays can be operated by a dashboard switch, for example. Change-over relays are used for switch applications with two stages/speeds such as heated rear windows or fan motors etc. How change-over relays work A change-over relay operates on the same principle as a make relay. The only difference is that the armature is connected to a second (alternative) output (87a) when released. As soon as the control circuit is active, the armature is pulled in, opens the break contact (87a) and switches over to the make contact (87). A change-over relay can be used as either a make or a break relay. By design, the switching current of the make contact is always higher than that of the break contact. Rated voltage 12 V: for passenger cars, agricultural and construction machinery etc. 24 V: for commercial vehicles, buses, municipal vehicles etc.
