Question: what is the difference between a 4 pin and 5 pin relay?
Answer: The difference between a 4 and 5 pin relay is that a 4 pin relay is used to control a single circuit, whereas a 5 pin relay switches power between two circuits. 4 pin relays use 2 pins (85 & 86) to control the coil and 2 pins (30 & 87) which switch power on a single circuit.
