Other classifications of relays

II. Classification by external dimensions

Miniature relay:A relay with a longest side dimension not exceeding 10mm.

Subminiature relay:A relay with a longest side dimension greater than 10mm, but not exceeding 25mm.

Small relay:A relay with a longest side dimension greater than 25mm, but not exceeding 50mm.

III. Classification by contact load

Micro power relay:A relay with a load current less than 0.2A.

Low power relay: A relay with a load current between 0.2A and 2A.

Medium power relay:A relay with a load current between 2A and 10A.

High power relay:A relay with a load current exceeding 10A.

Energy-saving power relay: A relay with a load current between 20A and 100A.

IV. Classification by protective characteristics

Sealed relay:,A relay that has its contacts and coil sealed within a metal enclosure, having a lower leakage rate.

Epoxy-sealed relay:A relay that has its contacts and coil sealed within a plastic enclosure, having a higher leakage rate.

Dust cover relay: A relay that has its contacts and coil enclosed and protected by a cover.

Open relay:A relay that does not use a protective cover to protect its contacts and coil.
