Hi,

Sorry for a slightly OT post.

These groups tend or seem to be fairly well frequented and at least slightly
relevant and equally likely to be able to fairly quickly yield a helpful and
useful answer.

In short:

Please advise on below relay pin diagram (for a STSP - Single Throw Single
Pole) relay (DIN style - i.e. pins in a row):

Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 Pin 4

@ /|\ /|\ /|\
@ | | |
--------- |
|
/|\ |
| |
-----------

Note: " @@ " is a wiggle symbol which must be for the coil (?).

Your assistance, input and / or guidance, thoughts, etc. are much
appreciated and welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

Best wishes,

News Reader

First you need to use a fixed font for ASCII art to work on other's
newsreaders.

There are millions of relays - all with different pin numbers.

Use a DVM set to resistance to find out which two are the coil - it will
have a resistance likely in the 100s of ohms. The other two are the switch
contacts. If you don't have a DVM Xmas approaches. Wink

If a low volt coil
you could use a suitable battery. Note some relays have an internal diode
across the coil so will be polarity sensitive.

I assumed that all newsreaders offered a choice of font - or
is that just Pluto?

Hi,

Many thanks all.

Will try following the advice given.

Any further / additional, etc. welcomed.

Rendering in a text only (non-html or "Font" rendering) mode should ensure
the ASCII art renders correctly ( ? - lol... or close enough?)...

Thanks again.

Bye for now.

Best wishes,

News Reader

Only fixed width fonts will display correctly... Outlook Express by default
uses a proportional font.

Most GUI readers do, but even then there is no gurantee that the
vertical alignment will be corect.

Mr Plowman ommitted the word "pitch" between fixed and font. It is
the width of each character that needs to be the same for the entire
font, so a W is just as wide as an i. It doesn't matter what it looks
like, only that the charcters are all the same width.

If you know the make and part number you could try the maker's website for
a spec sheet. Although I've a feeling this might just confuse you more...

Newsgroups are basic text only. What font you use to type the message
doesn't come through them. Only the spacing. So you need to use a fixed
space font, and others must use a fixed space font to view that diagram as
you see it.

That is the point, a choice of font. Who is going to alter what they use,
and most default to truetype normal stuff.

Not a lot of good to me in any case but used to have fun with ascii art in
them old days.

Who remembers the sheep?

There is more than one. Possibly the most common one is "Courier New".

SPST will be pin 1 to pin 2 will be the coil.
Pin 3 to pin 4 will be a normally open contact

Why not just take a picture (or draw one in Paint or something),
upload it to photobucket and post the link? much easier - and everyone
will see it correctly.
