Relay''s coil-part#
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
I checked the part number and the suffux denotes the coil voltage.
G6A-274P-ST-US-DC5 is 5 volt DC. at 5 VDC the coil is listed for
200 mW. Check for seperate transistors or a darlington to handle the
power. Check this list for more information on transistors, power,
even servos to get more information.
Remember the coil voltage is what is needed to power the
electromagnet. The contacts can handle the full rating of the relay.
Keep in mind that there is a total amount of power the stamp can
handle and make sure your total is less. Even thought each pin can
handel 20 mA, the stamp cannot handle 10 such loads.
Check the Parallax site for examples. I think the Industrial
applications or servos should detail how to connect the pins and
even recomend some devices.
