Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of relay modules, in particular to a relay module. Background Art

[0002] A relay is an electronic control device. It has a control system (also known as an input circuit) and a controlled system (also known as an output circuit), and is usually applied to an automatic control circuit. In fact, a relay is an "automatic switch" that uses a smaller current to control a larger current. Therefore, in a circuit, a relay plays roles such as automatic regulation, safety protection, and circuit conversion.

[0003] The existing terminal block generally includes a base and a PCB board arranged on the upper surface of the base. In order to complete signal transmission, components such as input terminals, output terminals, relays, power modules, and processing units are arranged on the surface of the PCB board. Since there are many components on the surface of the PCB board, the PCB board needs to be made very large to support these components, making the entire terminal block large in volume. When actually used, it will occupy a large amount of working space, resulting in high installation costs. How to reduce the occupancy rate of the working space by the relay while ensuring the use stability of the relay and improving the practicality of the relay. Therefore, a relay module is needed.
