[Slightly OT?] Relay Pin Outs (Wiring Diagram) - Interpretation Help
News Reader
Hi,
Sorry for a slightly OT post.
These groups tend or seem to be fairly well frequented and at least slightly
relevant and equally likely to be able to fairly quickly yield a helpful and
useful answer.
In short:
Please advise on below relay pin diagram (for a STSP - Single Throw Single
Pole) relay (DIN style - i.e. pins in a row):
Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 Pin 4
@ /|\ /|\ /|\
@ | | |
--------- |
|
/|\ |
| |
-----------
Note: " @@ " is a wiggle symbol which must be for the coil (?).
Your assistance, input and / or guidance, thoughts, etc. are much
appreciated and welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes,
News Reader

There are millions of relays - all with different pin numbers.
Use a DVM set to resistance to find out which two are the coil - it will
have a resistance likely in the 100s of ohms. The other two are the switch
contacts. If you don't have a DVM Xmas approaches. ;-) If a low volt coil
you could use a suitable battery. Note some relays have an internal diode
across the coil so will be polarity sensitive.

I assumed that all newsreaders offered a choice of font - or
is that just Pluto?

Hi,
Many thanks all.
Will try following the advice given.
Any further / additional, etc. welcomed.
Rendering in a text only (non-html or "Font" rendering) mode should ensure
the ASCII art renders correctly ( ? - lol... or close enough?)...
Thanks again.
Bye for now.
Best wishes,

Only fixed width fonts will display correctly... Outlook Express by default
uses a proportional font.

If you know the make and part number you could try the maker's website for
a spec sheet. Although I've a feeling this might just confuse you more...

Newsgroups are basic text only. What font you use to type the message
doesn't come through them. Only the spacing. So you need to use a fixed
space font, and others must use a fixed space font to view that diagram as
you see it.

Most GUI readers do, but even then there is no gurantee that the
vertical alignment will be corect.
Mr Plowman ommitted the word "pitch" between fixed and font. It is
the width of each character that needs to be the same for the entire
font, so a W is just as wide as an i. It doesn't matter what it looks
like, only that the charcters are all the same width.

and most default to truetype normal stuff.
Not a lot of good to me in any case but used to have fun with ascii art in
them old days.

Since I don't use Windows, what is the name of the non proportional font
OE can access?

There is more than one. Possibly the most common one is "Courier New".

Why not just take a picture (or draw one in Paint or something),
upload it to photobucket and post the link? much easier - and everyone
will see it correctly.

SPST will be pin 1 to pin 2 will be the coil.
Pin 3 to pin 4 will be a normally open contact

Just do ASCII art in Notepad and paste *that* into your post.
...and as has been alluded to,
Outbreaks In Excess is the WORST choice for posting to Usenet
--for this and other reasons.
(Apparently you either format blockquoting by hand or
have done the 3rd-party update to make M$'s junk suck a bit less.)

All of them, of course!

I changed my opinion of this after seeing Bills contributions using
News Rover and trying it for myself. OE looks positively useful in
comparison.

The OP is an exception to the rule, but most OE users
are quite clueless about how proper posting should look
(and/or never look at their own posts).
Most OE users are also unaware that there is a 3rd-party update
which makes bad formatting / hand-formatting unnecessary:

Didn't realise there was a Quotefix for Outlook as well as Outlook Express

Hi,
Thanks all for your input. As always, (any) more (or other) welcomed and
appreciated.
Picture (of pin outs / as symbol on bottom):
http (could not find a no registration required free picture hosting service
so see below... : - P .... [bino attach for {y'all}] - [yay ! ... -
woohhh!!] )
Should be one of these (note: yes.. this is a DPDT... but for simplicities
sake.. I simplified the scenario to of "one side" ... a SPST):
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=37494
(They used to have the wiring diagram on the site... picture gone... nice! -
they don't seem to know themselves!). NOTE NOTE NOTE: The marking on the one
actually received differs from that pictured and reads (approximately?) as:
Manufacturer Symbol(?): RJ (looks like? - J is at bottom of last bottom
right stick of the R)
Part Code(?): RS-5 (1A 125VAC / 2A 24VDC)
Other (compliance?) symbol(?): RU (R backwards merged to the left stick of
the U?!)?!?
(BTW / Aside: Am perfectly happy with a data sheet if actually shows the pin
wiring and not just [performance, etc.] statistics?!)
Thanks again and in advance.
Best wishes,
News Reader

NOT ONE of the groups to which you posted this
has "binary" or "binaries" in its name.
That means those are **text-only** groups.
...and the majority of news servers strip off attachment junk.
Outlook Express users really stand out--due to their ignorance.
