RELAY
Basically, an electrically operated
switch which may be normally
closed (1) or open (2).
Current flow through a small coil
creates a magnetic field which either
opens or closes an attached switch.

RESISTOR
An electrical component with a fixed
resistance, placed in a circuit to
reduce voltage to a specific value.SWITCH, DOUBLE THROW
A switch which continuously passes
current through one set of contacts
or the other.
RESISTOR, TAPPED
A resistor which supplies two or
more different non adjustable
resistance values.SWITCH, IGNITION
A key operated switch with several
positions which allows various
circuits, particularly the primary
ignition circuit, to become
operational.
RESISTOR, VARIABLE or RHEOSTAT
A controllable resistor with a variable
rate of resistance.
Also called a potentiometer or
rheostat.
SENSOR (Thermistor)
A resistor which varies its resistance
with temperature.SWITCH, WIPER PARK
Automatically returns wipers to the
