Industrial relay selection: type, load, contacts and socket

Choose the relay by the circuit it switches and the supply available to its coil. General-purpose plug-in, slim interface, PCB and force-guided relays serve different purposes. A high thermal or maximum switching value is not a universal load rating.

Industrial relay and application comparison
Relay type / modelContact choiceLoad / application checkMounting / base
ZJ10F general-purpose relay2CO / 3CO variantsPanel control: check the selected AC/DC coil and load rating; do not infer motor suitability from a resistive rating.10F-2Z-C4 socket / 10F-3Z-C1 socket
ZJ18F miniature relay2CO / 3CO / 4CO variantsMultiple control circuits: choose the pole count and verify the rating per contact.18F-2Z-C11 socket · 18F bases

Specify the load before choosing the current rating

Load information for relay selection
LoadWhat to provideWhy it matters
Resistive heater / test loadOperating voltage, steady current, duty and ambient temperature.Use the applicable resistive rating and endurance data.
Solenoid / contactor coilAC or DC, steady current, inrush and suppression circuit.Inductive switching stress differs from resistive operation; coil suppression can affect release time.
Lamp / LED driver / power supplyInput type, inrush peak/duration and switching frequency.A low steady current can coexist with a much higher turn-on current.
PLC / low-level signalMinimum voltage/current, required isolation and switching life.Check minimum load and contact material; a power-contact rating alone is insufficient.
MotorMotor-specific rating, starting current and switching duty.Do not convert a general-purpose resistive ampere rating into a motor rating.

See relay application precautions for the distinction between inductive and resistive switching. Model-specific JINHONG data remains the basis for selecting our products.
