How to wire the 8-pin relay
Relays are commonly used components in electrical control systems. 8-pin relays have more pins and the wiring method is relatively complicated. This article will introduce in detail the wiring method of the 8-pin relay, and combine it with the hot topics and hot content on the entire network in the past 10 days to help readers better understand and apply it.
1. Basic structure of 8-pin relay

8-pin relays usually consist of coils, contacts and other auxiliary components. Here is a brief description of its pin functions:
| Pin number | Function |
|---|---|
| 1, 2 | coil pin |
| 3, 4 | Normally open contact (NO) |
| 5, 6 | Normally closed contact (NC) |
| 7, 8 | Common terminal (COM) |
2. Wiring steps of 8-pin relay
1.Coil wiring: Connect the positive pole of the control power supply to pin 1 and the negative pole to pin 2. When the coil is energized, the relay will close.
2.Normally open contact wiring: When the relay is closed, pin 3 and pin 4 will be connected. A load circuit can be connected to these two pins.
3.Normally closed contact wiring: When the relay is not closed, pin 5 and pin 6 will be connected. Suitable for circuits that need to remain connected during a power outage.
4.Common terminal wiring: Pin 7 and pin 8 are common terminals, usually used with normally open or normally closed contacts.
3. Hot Topics and Hot Content
The following are the hot topics and hot content related to relays on the entire network in the past 10 days:
| topic | heat index | Main content |
|---|---|---|
| Relay applications in smart homes | ★★★★★ | Discuss the control role of relays in smart home systems |
| Relay troubleshooting | ★★★★☆ | Share common relay faults and solutions |
| The difference between 8-pin relay and 5-pin relay | ★★★☆☆ | Compare the applicable scenarios of relays with different pins |
| Energy-saving design of relays | ★★★☆☆ | Discuss how to reduce relay energy consumption |
4. Precautions
1.Voltage matching: Make sure the coil voltage is consistent with the control power supply voltage to avoid burning the relay.
2.load capacity: The contact load capacity of the relay is limited, so do not exceed its rated current.
3.Anti-interference measures: In high-frequency or high-current situations, it is recommended to add arc suppression circuits or shielding measures.
5. Summary
The wiring of the 8-pin relay is not complicated, just connect it correctly according to the pin function. Combined with current hot topics, relays still have broad application prospects in smart home, industrial control and other fields. I hope this article can help readers better understand the wiring method of 8-pin relay.
