An electrical relay is a type of heavy-duty, remote-control switch able to handle high-current accessories, yet capable of being actuated by substantially less current. Relays install between the ...

One of the biggest trends in the switch and relay markets is the call for more options to help designers select the best switching device for their application. Other big asks are for longer life, ...

A range of manufacturing and production processes rely on current-operated relays to provide a continuously adjustable trip-current setting. They are able to protect mechanical apparatus from jam-up ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and computer-based controllers are great for handling logic and data-collection tasks for industrial controls. But when it comes to driving motors, heaters, ...

When we think of relays, we tend to think of those big mechanical things that make a satisfying ‘click’ when activated. As nice as they are for relay-based computers, there are times when you don’t ...

This low current relay circuit is designed to be used in battery operated electronic devices. Its operating current is in micro amperes (µA). This is done by using a bistable relay and adding some ...

Relays and contactors use a variety of technologies to switch signals and power connections. Many devices called relays use similar techniques and topologies, but the terminology can be confusing.

When to use mechanical vs. solid-state devices. The parameters that should be considered when selecting a device. Optimize your selection for lowest cost/maximum ...

Pickering’s smallest miniature SIP reed relay with a power rating up to 80 Watts offers alternative to mercury wetted reed relays or electromechanical relays Leading manufacturer of high performance ...

Relays are electromechanical devices that use a magnetic solenoid to actual a switch. When current is passed through the solenoid coil, it produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field is strengthened ...
