I'm looking at using this for a custom application and just need to know if you can answer a few questions.1) The relay switch is controlled by 120 volt and is separate from the switch sides?2) The switch sides are independent from the relay power side meaning I can control a 12 volt item using 120 power to the relay?3) Is there 2 switch sides? Meaning can I send 120volt into relay switch side and switch 2 separate items on and off like a 12 volt and 120 volt independent but with same relay?

yes the cpoil side (120v) is separated from the contacts. in other words, use 120V to activate and any voltage on the output
875511
yes the control circuit is 120 volt and can control 2 separate circuits of any voltage.
875512
Yes you can switch 2 different voltages through the rely just make sure you connect to the right terminal. Les @ McCloud Electrical

1-Yes the relay switch is controlled by 120 volt and is separate from the switch sides.2-Yes the switch sides are independent from the relay power side meaning I can control a 12 volt item using 120 power to the relay.3- Is there 2 switch sides? Meaning can I send 120volt into relay switch side and switch 2 separate items on and off like a 12 volt and 120 volt independent but with same relay With the option of normally closed.

I am using these relays to control multiple 12 volt switches (zone valves), so I assume, IMO, the answers are yes, yes, yes.

This is a remotely operated switch. Rated for 15 amps. I use it to operate a relay and depend on the vehicle battery for power. Only power here is the battery in the remote to send the signal. It could be used to switch directly if the load was less than 15 amps. I personally would not trust it to hold up in switching a 15 amp load often and depend on a stout relay.

I believe the two outer contacts are "voltage in" and the two inside contacts are "voltage out" so in theory only installing one wire on "voltage in" and one wire on "voltage out" should be fine....but this is electricty I would ask a "PRO" In fact they (SQUARE D) probably make a switch just for your application (120v). Search Amazon or Google it.

Pretty Simple. There is an input VCC and Ground and once that power applies it waits an x amount of time (based on the potentiometer) to actuate the relay. The relay has a COM (not connected to Ground) and a normally open and normally closed switch. Anything specific that you need help with?

Dear Newman, did you check the relay contacts working or not? Dou you want to use as a HOT CONTACTS? I think it is not possible. You need to use them as a separate circuit switch. Not a hot source switch. I am not sure. Good Luck...Good Luck...

On the BlueSea web site, the page for this product, on the left side it has a link for "Wiring schematic" if you click on that it shows the incoming power can be fused up to 125 Amps. With that said, IF you like switches you can put a relay inline with the main power and it should be rated higher than 125 amps. I personally would not recommend putting a relay inline with the main power. Just my .02. Hope that helps.

The 120 gets wired into the scree terminals. Each relay can be normally on or normally off. There is a little diagram showing a switch on each of the sets of 3 terminals. I connect hot to the middle and the output to the normally off one. The pin header with for pins has a connection for 5v, gnd and two logic level inputs. Connect 5v and ground and the two inputs can go directly to pins on your controller. When both are switched it the board will be drawing a decent amount of current for the relay coils. You will probably not want to run it off the Arduino 5v pin.

I don't understand the question. But they are little relays that can handle 30 amps so you wire the load to the the relay and let your switches turn the relays on or off. So if you have a motor for instance, you let your switch turn the relay coil on or off - and wire the motor to the load side of the relay. so you don't burn out your switch.

These switches are a set made for a "three way" (which is only two switches) wiring setup. They require the standard wires for having a switch in two locations that controls the light on and off. Ether switch can be used for the light. If you only have one switch currently, then there is the main/single switch sold individually cheaper- this product can't convert a single switch to a double switch without chainging the house wiring. The 2nd switch is wired into the circuit and is not a remote, but the other half of the three way wiring circuit.

The switched leads on the back are separate from the input voltage. The 120 VAC can be applied to the switched circuit to control a typical 120 VAC load, or the switched circuit can be used like a toggle switch for an isolated circuit to control low voltage lights.

The idea of a relay is to switch a higher current circuit with a lower current input. For example, you could use a tiny on/off switch meant to only handle 1-2 amps to power the relay, and that closes the circuit on an isolated circuit of the relay that can handle up to 40 amps (big lights, for example). If you ran the small switch directly on the input of the lights, you'd burn out your switch instantly.

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.

This relay is activated by a 110 volt signal on its own cord. I have been using them to relay both 220VAC on a 30amp breaker and 110 on a 20 amp breaker. They work quite well. Any system that will switch the 110VAC on and off can operate this unit. Hope this answers your question. Alan PS if you have a system that only has dry contacts you would need another relay for the 110VAC to make this work and at that point, you would be running a relay with a relay and that doesn't make a lot of sense.

Title is misleading. These units are manufactured with various DC and AC voltage ratings to OPERATE THE SWTICH; the one here RUNS on 12V DC and this power is used to CLOSE THE SWITCH when instructed by the timer; HOWEVER, the switch can be wired into any LOAD equivalent to 120V 16 amps (DC or AC). The confusing thing about the description of this switch is that the power that RUNS the switch has NOTHING to do with what you can wire into the switch, the 12V DC input simply CLOSES THE SWITCH but does NOT go through the switch.

I have been using this to run the AC power from the wall, 110VAC. The Arduino pins have plenty of juice to toggle to relay. I have run mine for extended periods and have not had it fail yet. Only bought one. I plan on buying more soon. Application: Power relay from Sanguinololu 1.3a installed on MendelMax. Powering 110VAC-12V 20A power supply.

First off, you do not need the 12 volt version to control a 12 volt device. You could use the 110VAC version as well since all the device does is open and close relay contacts based on temperature set points. You can route up to 10 amps and 250V through the relay contacts. So, you just run the 12v you wish to switch through the appropriate contact set and then when that temperature is reached the relay contacts close or open. (heating contacts close when a low set point is reached and cooling contacts close when a high set point is reached).

I didn't see a relay option mentioned in the manufacturer description. I use this unit and didn't need a relay for my 4000 watt in-wall heater. It's a 220 volt system, but this unit will work with a 120 system. You should not need a relay. Whether the unit is a baseboard heater or wall heater, either will work with this unit. I don't think you'll find a better one for the application. There are lower wattage options that have backlight and other features. This one is very quiet and maximizes savings.
