I'm looking for an (electromechanical) relay to provide electrical isolation between two low voltage circuits (5V and 7.2V) as an alternative to using an opto isolator. I am actually looking ot compare the two on things like cost and size, but I'm not exactly sure which sort of relay to use. Any ideas anyone?I'm looking for a relay to provide electrical isolation?
You could use a reed relay (for instance stock code JH12N from Maplin) which costs 拢1.31. However, I would myself prefer an opto-isolator (Maplin stock code RA57M, cost 57p), as it is smaller, faster, has no moving parts and is cheaper. You can also get dual and quad opto-isolators if you need them.
