Over the years, control relays of various types have been used by the hundreds — even thousands — to control nearly every function in commercial and industrial processes. Today, many of those ...

[Teodor] writes in with a unique Tesla coil he designed and built. Unlike most Tesla coils, [Teodor]’s design is able to run with a fairly low input voltage because it doesn’t use a static spark gap ...

This application note deals with problems related to the methods used in deenergizing electromagnetic relay coils, particularly when a solid state switch is used, and how they affect relay life. It is ...

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.

Many varieties of ON/OFF control circuits use some form of flip-flop that responds to a pushbutton switch or other control input. These all have volatile memory and default to an OFF condition if ...

What is an automotive relay? In simple terms, an automotive relay is a small cube shaped electronically operated electromechanical switch. It uses an electromagnetic device to mechanically maneuver a ...

Omron has launched a PCB power relay that provides bi-directional high power DC switching for home renewable energy storage batteries and electric vehicles wall boxes – for example, in vehicle-to-home ...

Omron Electronic Components has added three new PCB relays to its portfolio of devices, targeting automotive and mobility applications where space is tight and high-performance deemed critical. The ...

When voltage sags occur inside or outside of a facility, properly placed power quality mitigation technology will save sensitive equipment from costly shutdowns. The cost of this mitigation equipment ...
