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 has ...

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® ...

One advantage of solid-state relay (SSR) over conventional electro-magnetic relay (EMR) is its tear and wear free operation. S201S01 from Sharp is a good example. Here is the circuit diagram of a DIY ...

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, ...

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 ...

As [Mic] often got requests to make high-power switching boards, he recently finally gave in and designed the one shown above based around a solid-state relay. Some of our readers that already play ...

Even though the function of single phase and three phase relays are quite similar, their applications can vary significantly. This is primarily due to the characteristics of three phase power circuits ...

[SaltyPuglord] needed a solid state relay for a project. We’d have just bought one, but he decided to design his own in LTSpice. Along the way he made the video below, which is pretty informative and ...

When to use mechanical vs. solid-state devices. The parameters that should be considered when selecting a device. Optimize your selection for lowest cost/maximum ...

Excel Cell Electronics (ECE) ESR5 series of solid-state relays are available with or without LED Indicators, with ac or dc control inputs, and, separately, with ac or dc-type outputs. “Characteristics ...

BEVERLY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- IXYS Integrated Circuits Division (formerly Clare, Inc.), a wholly owned subsidiary of IXYS Corporation (NAS: IXYS) , announced the immediate availability of the ...
