DC Relay Switch Driver Circuit

Introduction

In this tutorial, we are going to study the “DC Relay Switch Driver Circuit”. A basic
electromechanical switch is referred to as a relay. While regular switches are used to
manually close or open circuits, a relay is a switch that connects or disconnects two
circuits. A DC relay switch uses a DC (Direct Current) source to energize an electromagnetic
coil in a relay.

The electromagnetic induction principle governs the operation of a relay. When we apply a
current to an electromagnet, it creates a magnet around it. The copper coil and iron core
operate as electromagnets in the relay.  When DC is introduced to the coil, it begins to
attract the contact as indicated. We call this relay energizing. When you remove the supply,
it returns to its original position. This is referred to as relay de-energization.

Relay Switch Driver Circuit


Working Explanation

Here we are providing a common application circuit for a DC Relay switch. Through a
switching transistor, the magnetic coil is wired to the bias. To shield the coil from back emf,
we use a reverse bias flywheel diode across the coil. The coil is immediately connected to
bias via the input Vin to the transistor base, which causes conduction through the transistor.
It energizes the coil when Vin lowers the transistor to cutoff and disconnects the relay coil
from the bias.
