Objective The objective of this lab exercise is to identify the pin-out of a typical electromechanical relay. Parts Needed 1. Relay - 12V DC Coil, DPDT 2. Breadboard 3. Wire, wire cutter, and wire stripper 4. Variable Power supply 5. DMM Pre-Lab Not all relays have identifiable pins. However they can easily be identified using the simple procedure given below. Two of the pins are coil terminals. Depending on the relay, a measurement of 200-1000 Ω resistance is expected across these two pins. A relay may have two or more sets of contacts. Each set consists of a NO and a NC contact. Each contact has two terminals; however in each set of contacts, one pin is shared by the two contacts as shown in Figure 1. Again, C1 and C2 are common terminals between the two contacts on each side and it does not mean that they have to be connected to the common ground (a common misconception!). Figure 1 is a generic diagram and does not necessarily represent the order of the pins on your relay.
