Electronic relays have evolved a lot since their introduction in the early '30s, but their basic purpose hasn't changed. Transistors and integrated circuits have replaced vacuum tubes and the term ...

If you've ever wondered how electronic devices manage to control circuits with precision and safety, you're thinking about the magic of relays. Relays act as the unsung heroes in many of our devices, ...

Many electronic designs can take advantage of the improved performance of solid-state relays (SSRs) relative to that of electromechanical relays (EMRs) that perform the same circuit function. OptoMOS® ...

Solid State Relay (SSR) is a solid-state replacement of electro-mechanical relay, and is commonly used for general purpose switching of signals and low power AC/DC loads. It consists of a ...

“You could’ve done that with a 555 timer.” But what if all you have on hand is an ESP8266? [TechColab] needed to control a solenoid valve with a short pulse via a solid-state relay (SSR) but found ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

As replacements for traditional mechanical relays with lower reliability and shorter lifetimes, the new Vishay Semiconductors 1 Form A VOR1142A6, VOR1142B6, and VOR1142M4 provide high input-to-output ...

VOR1003M4T is an industrial-grade relay with a 1 Form A (single-pole normally-open) contact. On the output side there are back-to-back mosfets allowing ac or dc to be switched. Typical output-side ...

MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has announced the release of two new industrial-grade 1 Form A solid-state relays, the VO1401AEFTR and VOR1003M4T. Designed for demanding ...
