Getting Started

To drive this relay from a microcontroller, use a logic-level NPN transistor or MOSFET as a low-side switch. Ensure a flyback diode (such as a 1N4007) is placed across the coil terminals to protect your circuitry from inductive voltage spikes during turn-off. Use wide PCB traces for the contact terminals to accommodate high current loads without excessive heating.
