48. DC Motor Relay Selection
Rohit is designing a control board to switch a 12V DC motor using a relay.
The motor can draw up to 3A during normal operation.
He wants a 12V coil PCB relay so the low-voltage controller can switch the motor safely.
Only normally open switching is needed.
Help him select a suitable relay from DigiKey.
Make sure the relay has the correct coil voltage, enough contact current rating, and is suitable for DC load switching and PCB mounting.
