    5 volts turn on a 12v relay

    Hi, I'm not very good with relays, but I was wondering if there is something that if i put 5 volts through it, it will connect a 12v relay... thanks

    yeah, it's called a 5v relay... it can make contact & the contacts can flow the 12v no problem, I use this for usb triggering all the time

    I have a Matrix Orbital VFD, which has 6 general purpose outputs, they are 5 volts, I wanted to use these 5v outputs to turn on other things in my car, such as my fog lights, or lights in my trunk, things like that.

    Thanks turbocad6, thats just what i was looking for.

    Common relay are 12V, but you can also find 5V, 6V, and 24V relays as well. Hit up local electronic store or online like digikey, jamesco, mouser ... they have them.
