High DC low Amp relay question

Post by alexander_hughes »

First off I want to comment that I will not be wiring the high voltage myself... I am merely trying to buy the components and program the board and relay to work at a certain specs that I know of. So:

I need to supply 115VDC 390mA (.39A) to 3 solenoids to activate but only a .14a is needed to hold it.
If a 4 channel relay is rated 30vDC 10a .... does this work? why or why not?

My very little knowledge of electricity only tells me that:
115 x .39 = 44.85W each for requirement
30 x 10 = 300W
which means my little knowledge of electricity says that it is fine, but my gut tells me ask since I don't know jack.

Those coils are AC. The relays linked are claimed (and marked in the photo) AC250V 10A . So in theory you are fine.
