    Relay Switch
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding suitable alternatives for Ronway relay switches with different leg configurations, specifically the RWG1-DC12V-HS (4 legs) and RWG1-DC12V-ZS (5 legs). Users highlight the difficulty in locating relays with the required specifications, particularly the 10A 30VDC rating. It is noted that the two relays differ in functionality, with one being SPDT and the other SPST, which affects their terminal requirements. Suggestions include modifying the 5-leg relay by cutting off the unnecessary leg if change-over contacts are not needed. Overall, users are seeking compatible replacements while clarifying the distinctions between the relay types.

hi can anyone here recommend an alternative relay switch x2 one has 5 legs one has 4
im not able to find any the same :(
and the ones I've looked at all have 5 legs
the diffrece is Ronway RWG1-DC12V-HS
and Ronway RWG1-DC12V-ZS

Any help is appreciated :) hs and zs is the only diffrence i can see but no idea of the diffrence just the 5 leg and 4 legs.

The 5 pin relay is standard.
If you don't need change-over contacts, cut off the leg you do not need.

ok thankyou the bit that stumped me a little is the
15A 125VAC
10A 250VAC
10A 30VDC
non of what i find has the 10A 30VDC
 
cool thankyou but are these not two diffrent relays as one ends in ZS and the other in hS (HS being the four legged one) that's what made me think they are not the same ?

The relays are different. One is SPDT, and needs all 5 terminals on the package.

The other is lower cost SPST, so it is missing a pair of internal contacts and the pin that is not needed.

Do you have, by any chance, a manual for that board? I’m trying to configure a very similar one
