FAQ
Q1. What is a Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) relay?
A. DPDT relay is a type of relay with two discrete sets of moving contacts. Each set includes a normally closed (NC) contact and a normally open (NO) contact.
Q2. What is the benefit of using a DPDT relay?
A. DPDT relays are the most popular and convenient type of relay. The 2 sets of contacts provide the option to choose either NC or NO configuration for a circuit when the relay is energized or de-energized.
Q3. How does a DPDT relay work?
A. When the double throw relay is at rest, the NO contacts are open, and the NC contacts are closed. When voltage is applied to the coil, both sets of contacts change positions – the NC contacts open, and the NO contacts close.
Q4. How are DPDT relays different from SPST and SPDT relays?
A. The main difference is that Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) and Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) relays have only one set of contacts instead of two.
