What is Actuate Time (Operate Time) for relays?
Actuate Time, also known as Operate Time, is the time it takes for a relay to change from its resting state to its operating state after the coil has been energized. In other words, it is the time it takes for the contacts of the relay to close or open after the appropriate voltage has been applied to the relay coil.
Actuate Time is an important parameter to consider when selecting a relay for a particular application, as it can affect the performance and reliability of the circuit. The Actuate Time can vary depending on the type of relay, the load being switched, and the operating conditions such as temperature and voltage. It is typically specified by the manufacturer in the relay's datasheet.
