[QUOTE="BenBB, post: 1587966, member: 20185"] They are! Basically it’s just a switch on one circuit that is turned on and off by another trigger circuit. So the trigger circuit has a positive and a negative side, when you either provide +12V on the positive OR provide-12V (by grounding an otherwise open circuit) you complete the trigger circuit and 12V flows through; that turns “on” the circuit on the other two poles of the relay. The typical application is for a small circuit to control a larger one. A high-powered light is a good example, you can use smaller wire (and switch) on the trigger circuit and then large (and shorter) wire to carry the actual load. Does that make sense? [/QUOTE]
