In the modern world of electronics, safety, reliability, and environmental responsibility are paramount. This is especially true in industries where electrical components play a critical role in functionality and performance. One such component is the relay, a switch that opens and closes circuits electromechanically or electronically. A CE ROHS Certified Relay stands as a symbol of compliance with both European safety and environmental standards. In this article, we will explore what CE and RoHS certifications mean for relays, the benefits of these certifications, and their applications.
What is a Relay? A relay is an electrically operated switch used to control a circuit by a low-power signal or to manage several circuits with one signal. Relays are typically employed in control systems, automotive electronics, home appliances, and other electronic devices. Relays function by using an electromagnet to open or close contacts, thus completing or interrupting an electrical circuit. CE Certification： What Does It Mean? CE marking stands for “Conformité Européenne,” which translates to “European Conformity.” It is a mandatory certification for products sold in the European Economic Area (EEA). This marking indicates that the product meets the European Union (EU) safety, health, and environmental protection requirements. For relays, the CE mark indicates that the relay complies with EU regulations concerning electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
