Can you help me figure out what this is?
« on: March 16, 2010, 07:24:45 PM »
A while ago I had evil plans to build my own Battlebot and compete (when I was a huge fan of the show).  I stockpiled a bunch of electronics, parts, wheels, components over the span of a year but never ended up building anything.  Well I am cleaning out my storage and putting some items on ebay.

My question is:  What is this item pictured? Is it a power distribution block or something like that? I am not extremely familiar with components like this, so any info you have would be quite awesome. According to the manufacturers website it is called a Contactor? or Auxillary Contact?  What does it do?  I am hoping that some of you real life bot builders can explain the basics to me about this device so that I can properly post it online for sale.

Thanks for your help.

It's a contactor relay. FRC sent us a part like that but we never used it lol.

Germany's a big hub for electrical engineering, so I'm not surprised in the slightest that it comes from there.

If you look at it...
 
13-14 = normally open
21-22 = normally closed
35-36 = normally closed
47-48 = normally open
 
When 24v is applied to A1 - A2 they reverse and since it will handle 1 amp @ 250V DC it will handle 10 amp @ 25V DC (probably be good to reverse drive motors on a 240# bot)

Beat me... Yea, as described above.  Schematic says it all.
Relays enable little switches (like an RC receiver) to handle big loads (i.e. drive/weapon motor).
I hooked up a 1000w DC/AC inverter on my van; used a large relay/selenoid to handle the switching under load.  Alternator struggled sometimes. Mean use was only around 150w.... Chevy Astro. 4.3 Vortec.

Input is appreciated. :)
-Arrogance is a quantity devoid of quality...
-As a client once told me "This is my story, and it's sticking to me!"
-Relationships these days are like the 'Arrival' section of the airport: a lot of baggage is being revealed in one place, and not a lot of it is being correlated to its real owners...
