A 24v relay automotive is an electrical switch that is designed to handle high current devices in a vehicle's electrical system that require a 24V power supply. The relay works by using an electromagnetic coil to generate a magnetic field that pulls together a set of contacts, allowing electrical current to flow to the device being controlled.

The basic components of a 24vdc automotive relay include the coil, the contacts, and a spring. When an electrical current is applied to the coil, it generates a magnetic field that pulls the contacts together, completing an electrical circuit and allowing current to flow to the device being controlled. When the coil is de-energized, the contacts are released, breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of current to the device.

24 volt automotive relay are available in different configurations, including normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and changeover (CO) relays. Normally open relays are open when the coil is not energized, and closed when the coil is energized. Normally closed relays are the opposite, they are closed when the coil is not energized, and open when the coil is energized. Changeover relays have both normally open and normally closed contacts, allowing them to be used for a wider range of applications.
