Ac vs dc coil on contactors
Looking at schematics does it make any difference if I use dc coil contactors to drive the servos on a mill. I will use 24 volt dc power supply. Does the oak board care to switch. Dc vs ac?

Re: Ac vs dc coil on contactors
Make sure to use the proper snubbers on the coils. Diodes are preferred over Quencharcs for DC coils. Oak outputs are rated up to 5A at 30VDC.
