Compact 5V 5A DPDT (2 Form C) 8-Pin DIP Relay for Signal Switching and Embedded Control Applications
The SMI 5V 5A 2 Form C high power relay is designed for reliable switching in compact electronic circuits and embedded systems. Operating with a 5V DC coil, this relay is well-suited for microcontroller-based applications such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and control boards where low-voltage actuation is required. With a contact rating of up to 5A, it is ideal for switching signal lines, low-power devices, and control circuits. The DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) configuration, also known as 2 Form C, enables simultaneous control of two independent circuits with both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts.
Encased in a standard 8-pin DIP package with dimensions of 29.2 x 13mm, this relay ensures easy PCB mounting and space-efficient design. It provides strong electrical isolation between the coil and contact terminals, ensuring safe and stable operation. The SMI series relay is widely used in automation systems, instrumentation, telecom equipment, and embedded electronics where compact size and precise switching are essential.
