Relays are common electromechanical devices in electrical circuits that come in two types: either latched or non-latched. Latched relays retain their last switch position even after complete power ...

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 ...

Last month we discussed the basics of your car's 12-volt electrical system with the goal of understanding enough to trace problems to a particular electrical component. This month we're going to delve ...

This mini-series of articles describes how to build a computer’s CPU (central processing unit) out of relays. “Y” in English sounds like “guay” in Spanish (my mother tongue), a colloquial expression ...

A series of high voltage DC relays from Panasonic Electric Works are designed for electric vehicle powertrains. Available from TTI, the EV relay product family provides high voltage switching across ...

Pickering and Microchip march on with new electromechanical solutions that handle tasks which are still a struggle for their solid-state counterparts. While exotic semiconductors enjoy most of the ...
