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® ...

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, ...

Detroit — Motorola Inc.'s 2-milliohm high-side power switch could usher in a new automotive era, potentially eliminating millions of conventional relays in vehicles. Known as the MC33982, this ...

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 ...

Since the introduction of solid-state relays some decades ago, the debate over which is better, solid-state relays (SSRs) or electromechanical relays (EMRs), has gone on. The general answer is neither ...

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 ...

“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 ...
