In this Design Idea, we look at how electromechanical relays display hysteresis behavior that is surprisingly similar to the solid-state Schmitt trigger circuits, and how they can be used for many ...

Safety is a major concern in a good many motor-driven applications. This is true in industrial applications where motion starts when power is applied and especially true when power is restored after ...

Part 1 covered the basics, Part 2 explored the reed relay and its use in ATE applications, while this final section looks at ...

Relays usually are driven using optocouplers, which offer isolation between analog and digital grounds to ensure that switching currents in the relay coils do not affect the noise margin of the ...

If you're curious about the function of a relay in the context of home automation and the Internet of Things, here you go. In this piece, we'll explain the practical applications of many different ...

This system introduces an AC touch-controlled solid-state relay (SSR) capable of handling input voltages from 100V to 250V AC ...

A1B-E, a 300-ampere, 1000-volt relay that provides a printed circuit board (PCB)-mountable option for high-current applications traditionally served by electromagnetic contactors. Creds: OMRON The new ...
