Airlift Relay | 896H-1CH-D1SW-R1-12VDC

Automotive Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) 12V DC relays with a 680-ohm resistor are essential components in various vehicle electrical systems, including air suspension setups like those from Air Lift Performance.

Key Features:

• SPDT Configuration: This relay type has one common terminal and two outputs—normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC). This setup allows for versatile control of circuits, enabling the relay to switch between two different outputs.

• 12V DC Coil Voltage: Designed to operate with standard 12-volt automotive electrical systems, ensuring compatibility with most vehicles.

• 680-Ohm Resistor: The integrated resistor helps in suppressing voltage spikes generated when the relay coil is de-energized, protecting sensitive electronic components from potential damage.

Applications in Air Suspension Systems:

In air suspension systems, such as those offered by Air Lift Performance, these relays play a crucial role:

• Compressor Control: The relay manages the power supply to the air compressor, ensuring it operates only when necessary, thereby preventing continuous running and potential overheating.

• Valve Operation: It controls the air valves that adjust the air springs, allowing for precise modulation of the vehicle's ride height and comfort.

For instance, the 896H-1CH-D1SW-R1-12VDC is a commonly used relay in these applications. It features a SPDT configuration, operates on 12V DC, and includes a 680-ohm resistor for coil suppression. This relay is known for its reliability and compatibility with automotive systems.

Incorporating such relays into air suspension setups ensures efficient and reliable operation, safeguarding the system's components and enhancing overall performance.
