TE Connectivity VCF4 5 Way 250V PCB Relay Socket, for use with Mini ISO Relays

The range of applications can be classified into resistive loads, capacitive loads and inductive loads. The current curve of resistive loads is specified by the load voltage and load resistance. Capacitive loads have a high inrush current and a low steady current. Therefore lamps are counted to the capacitive loads, because the cold filament has a significantly lower resistance, than the hot filament. Inductive loads are characterized by an exponential current increase and a remarkable switch off arc, induced by the demagnetization of the magnetic circuit of the load. Power supply relays (clamp relays) can switch or feed a mixture of different loads. The circuit design of resistive and capacitive loads is usually a simple switch on and switch off. Motor load circuits are often more complex.
