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 ...

Engineers have studied and developed solid state relays devices that can replace mechanical relays. These solid state relays, compared to mechanical relays, have higher reliability, faster switching ...

WIXOM -- The Wixom manufacturing electronics manufacturer Acromag has released new BusWorks XT Series multi-channel optocouplers and interposing relay modules that connect discrete field devices to ...

The MAQ20-DORLY20 module offers 20 isolated SPST latching relay output channels that can switch between 2 A at 30 V and 0.4 A at 150 V. Each channel has contact state readback to verify the physical ...

Ladder logic uses switch or relay contacts to implement Boolean expressions. In years past, ladder logic was made possible with discrete relays and was sometimes termed “relay logic.” Today most ...

Let’s rollback the hobby electronics calendar a few decades with [myvideoisonutube’s] alarm activation control circuit using a matrix style phone keypad. The circuit is quite old using CMOS 4081 with ...

Computers built using discrete logic chips? Seen it. Computers from individual transistors? Impressive, but it’s been done. A computer built out of electromechanical relays? Bring on the ozone! The ...

Crydom’s solid-state relays (SSRs) are the industry’s first to obtain UL-approved short-circuit current ratings (SCCRs). These relays facilitate industrial control panel builders' efforts to comply ...
