Traditional relay drivers involve multiple discrete components to drive the relay and protect against damage to the microcontroller or other devices that can be caused by the voltage spike generated ...

One of the most frustrating challenges for control engineers and specialists is the potential early failure of interposing or interfacing relays used to drive inductive loads. This is especially true ...

TE Connectivity (TE) has announced the release of the CII FC-335 series relay. Designed to manage harsh inductive, motor and lamp loads, this high-performance relay offers a rugged means of power ...

The DRDC3105 integrates a complete solid-state relay driver into a single, surface-mount package, minimizing the PCB footprint, reducing component count and improving the reliability of inductive load ...

Looking like a general-purpose problem solver for process control, Teledyne Relays has introduced a seven-function DIN rail mount timing relay that works over 100ms to 100 hours and offers a 5A 240Vac ...

Solid-state relays are much smaller than corresponding single-pole relays. They are also faster, dissipate less power, and withstand a larger number of operations. And unlike electromechanical relays, ...

What is a relay? What is zero voltage switching? How to create a zero-crossing relay driver with a simple external circuit. A relay is a device that allows for a smaller electronic switch to control a ...
