Post subject:  What is a Relay
Well, since I burnt up a relay, I thought I share some pictures and a little bit about them....

A relay is a simple electromechanical switch made up of an electromagnet and a set of contacts.

Relay Construction
Relays are amazingly simple devices. There are four parts in every relay:

* Electromagnet
* Armature that can be attracted by the electromagnet
* Spring
* Set of electrical contacts

Omron usually has decent stuff.

Bosch / Tyco are usually considered the better of these styles of relays though.
