    Relays and solenoids are common electro-mechanical switches used in vehicles. Relays allow a low power signal to control higher power circuits, and come in designs using magnets or semiconductors. A common type is the mini ISO relay used for lighting, starting, horns and more. Solenoids are similar but engineered to switch heavier currents remotely. Both use a coil to generate a magnetic field when powered, attracting an armature to open or close circuits. Central locking systems employ solenoids to lock and unlock doors remotely.

    Relays
    • One of the most common electro-mechanical
    switches in a vehicle,the main job of a relay is to
    allow a low power signal to control a higher
    powered circuit, or to allow multiple circuits to be
    controlled by one signal
    • Relays come in a host of designs, from solid-state,
    which has no moving parts and uses semiconductors
    to control the flow of power, to electromagnetic
    relays, which use magnets to physically open and
    close a switch.
    • A common type of relay you find is a 
    Mini ISO relay, a general purpose relay that
    comes in an industry standard footprint and
    fits the needs of many electrical applications
    such as lighting, starting, horn, heating, and
    cooling.
    Construction of a relay
    On a casing, a core with copper windings (forms a coil) winded on it
    is placed. A movable armature consists of a spring support or stand
    like structure connected to one end, and a metal contact
    connected to another side, all these arrangements are placed over
    the core such that, when the coil is energized, it attracts the
    armature. The movable armature is generally considered as a
    common terminal which is to be connected to the external
    circuitry. The relay also has two pins namely normally closed and
    normally opened (NC and NO), the normally closed pin is
    connected to the armature or the common terminal whereas the
    normally opened pin is left free (when the coil is not energized).
    When the coil is energized the armature moves and is get
    connected to the normally opened contact till there exists flow of
    current through the coil. When it is de-energized it goes to its initial
    position.
    Cut section of an automotive relay
    • Relay in NORMALLY CLOSED condition:
    • When no voltage is applied to the core, it cannot generate any
    magnetic field and it doesn’t act as a magnet. Therefore, it cannot
    attract the movable armature. Thus, the initial position itself is the
    armature connected in normally closed position (NC).
    • Relay in NORMALLY OPENED condition:
    • When sufficient voltage is applied to the core it starts to create a magnetic
    field around it and acts as a magnet. Since the movable armature is placed
    within its range, it gets attracted to that magnetic field created by the core,
    thus the position of the armature is being altered. It is now connected to the
    normally opened pin of the relay and external circuit connected to it function
    in a different manner.
    • So finally, we can say that when a coil is energized the
    armature is attracted and the switching action can be
    seen, if the coil is de-energized it loses its magnetic
    property and the armature goes back to its initial
    position
    Solenoid
    • A solenoid is a type of electromagnet the
    purpose of which is to generate a controlled
    magnetic field.
    • Solenoids are a type of relay engineered to remotely
    switch a heavier current. Similar to the smaller
    electromechanical cube relays, a coil is used to generate
    a magnetic field when electricity is passed through it,
    which effectively opens or closes the circuit.
    • The terms solenoid and relay can often be used
    interchangeably; however, in the Automotive market,
    the term solenoid generally refers to a "metal can" type,
    whereas a relay typically refers to the standard "cube"
    style relay.
