🔹 Relay क्या है?
Relay एक ऐसा component है जो low voltage signal से high voltage devices को control करता है।

🔹 यह क्यों जरूरी है?

👉 Arduino / sensor सीधे 220V control नहीं कर सकते
👉 Relay बीच में लगाकर safe switching करते हैं

🔹 SPDT क्या होता है?
Single Pole Double Throw
एक input → दो output (NO और NC)
🔹 Pin / Terminal समझें
🔌 Coil Pins (2 pins)
Relay ON/OFF करने के लिए
🔌 Switching Pins (3 pins)
COM (Common)
NO (Normally Open)
NC (Normally Closed)
🔹 कैसे काम करता है?
Coil को 5V दिया → relay ON
COM → NO connect
OFF होने पर → COM → NC
🔹 Simple समझो
OFF → NC connected
ON → NO connected
🔹 कहाँ use होता है?
Fan control
Light ON/OFF
Motor control
Home automation
Arduino projects
🔹 Example

👉 Sensor detect → relay ON → light ON

🔹 Important Tips ⚠️
High voltage (220V) में सावधानी रखें
हमेशा diode protection use करें (1N4007)
Direct Arduino से relay मत चलाओ → transistor use करो
🔹 What is a Relay?
A relay is an electromechanical switch used to control high voltage devices using low voltage signals.

🔹 Why use it?
Microcontrollers cannot handle high voltage
Relay provides safe switching
🔹 What is SPDT?

One input → two outputs (NO & NC)
🔹 Terminals
Coil Pins
Used to activate relay
Switching Pins
COM (Common)
NO (Normally Open)
NC (Normally Closed)
🔹 Working
When powered → COM connects to NO
When OFF → COM connects to NC
🔹 Applications
Home automation
Light control
Motor switching
Arduino projects
🔹 Tips
Use diode protection
Use transistor for control
Handle high voltage carefully
