Sometimes, the most unexpected detours lead to the most interesting discoveries. After a brief break, I found myself revisiting latching relays—not just as components, but as puzzles waiting to be ...

Over the years, control relays of various types have been used by the hundreds — even thousands — to control nearly every function in commercial and industrial processes. Today, many of those ...

The 385 series of mechanically-latched, electrically-reset relays are used where the relay contacts need to remain in the last set position with the power off. The terminals have a single-piece ...

Same Sky’s Relays Group has announced the addition of new latching power relay models to its power relays product line. The PRL family of latching power relays features single coil and double coil ...

HAWTHORNE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teledyne Relays today announces new wide temperature range, hermetic relays operating up to 18 GHz. The new RF131 and GRF131 single-pole double-throw (SPDT) models ...

Omron Electronic Components has added to its range of latching power relays with devices that have interfaces for electric vehicle (EV) charge stations, PV inverters and lighting control. Omron ...

Relays are clunky, switch slowly, have contact bounce, and make noise, both acoustically and electromagnetically, so why are they still used? Relays are clunky, switch slowly, have contact bounce, and ...

Relays are electromechanical devices that use a magnetic solenoid to actual a switch. When current is passed through the solenoid coil, it produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field is strengthened ...

Large scale digital logic began not with the vacuum tube but the electromechanical relay. Although vacuum tubes were available at the time – and were used on competing machines – Konrad Zuse chose to ...
