Will 24V relay work with 12V (1 Viewer)

[Ben-jammin]

If you convert a 24V 2H to 12V, will all the relays/switches rated for 24V work for 12V?

Simple switches .....Yes

Relays (in particular ...their operating-coils) ....No. (Not reliably.)

you can add an appropriate resistor for voltage drop.. but better if you get 12v stuff
