Relay Pin Configuration
Pin Number | Pin Name | Description |
1 | Coil End 1 | Used to trigger(On/Off) the Relay, Normally one end is connected to 9V and the other end to ground |
2 | Coil End 2 | Used to trigger(On/Off) the Relay, Normally one end is connected to 9V and the other end to ground |
3 | Common (COM) | Common is connected to one End of the Load that is to be controlled |
4 | Normally Close (NC) | The other end of the load is either connected to NO or NC. If connected to NC the load remains connected before the trigger |
5 | Normally Open (NO) | The other end of the load is either connected to NO or NC. If connected to NO the load remains disconnected before the trigger |

Applications of Relay
- Commonly used in switching circuits.
- For Home Automation projects to switch AC loads
- To Control (On/Off) Heavy loads at a pre-determined time/condition
- Used in safety circuits to disconnect the load from the supply in the event of failure
- Used in Automobiles electronics for controlling indicators glass motors etc.
