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 ...

The new SNAP-OMR6-A and SNAP-OMR6-C power relay output modules offer four separate channels of switching for up to 250 VAC or 30 VDC, 6 amp loads. Significantly, the new modules are designed and built ...

There are plenty of analog and digital synthesis modules available in Eurorack format. But how about one that actually does physical percussion while capturing the output at the same time? The VU Perc ...

Mechanical relays, contactors, and switches control the flow of electricity by the mechanical action of two conducting elements. The physical contact of two conducting elements creates a path for ...

Building off of yesterday’s question related to the relevancy of vacuum tubes in modern electronics, we ask the same type of question today. Why are relays still used in modern electronics when there ...

International Rectifier introduces a new line of RAD-Hard solid state relays (SSRs) for high reliability (hi-rel) applications. The new SSRs are radiation-hardened, all-electronic devices, designed to ...

Solid-state relays provide robust solutions for electronic switching in load control applications and hold many advantages over electromechanical relays. New, emerging solid-state relay designs offer ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. According to the research firm IHS Inc., about 54 million relays and timers were purchased in 2013, a number projected ...

The advent of the touchscreen/capacitive sensing has many engineers wondering: Is the mechanical switch obsolete? How about the mechanical relay? There are many good ...

New space-saving slim electromechanical relays are now available from AutomationDirect. Klemsan Series slim interface relays are compact and lightweight relays especially useful where cabinet space is ...
