    When it comes to electrical systems, relays play a crucial role in controlling the flow of electricity. Relays are electrically operated switches that can handle high-voltage or high-current circuits while being controlled by a low-voltage signal. However, to ensure the proper functioning and safety of these relays, it's essential to consider their current rating. In this article, we will explore what relay current ratings are, why they are important, and how Meishuo is making a difference in offering high-quality, reliable relays that meet these ratings.

Relay current rating

    What is Relay Current Rating?
    The current rating of a relay refers to the maximum amount of electric current that the relay can handle without suffering from damage or failure. This is an essential factor when selecting a relay for a particular application, as the relay needs to be capable of switching or controlling the load current safely. The current rating is usually specified in amperes (A) and is often provided for both the relay's switching capacity (the amount of current it can handle when switching the circuit on or off) and its continuous current (the maximum current it can handle without overheating while continuously carrying the current).
