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 ...

The new SNAP-OMR6-A and SNAP-OMR6-C power relay output modules offer four separate channels of switching for up to 250 VAC or 30 VDC, 6 amp loads. Significantly, the new modules are designed and built ...

Relays and contactors use a variety of technologies to switch signals and power connections. Many devices called relays use similar techniques and topologies, but the terminology can be confusing.

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. According to the research firm IHS Inc., about 54 million relays and timers were purchased in 2013, a number projected ...

New space-saving slim electromechanical relays are now available from AutomationDirect. Klemsan Series slim interface relays are compact and lightweight relays especially useful where cabinet space is ...

Building off of yesterday’s question related to the relevancy of vacuum tubes in modern electronics, we ask the same type of question today. Why are relays still used in modern electronics when there ...

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 ...

Long before tubes and semiconductors became the main active components in digital circuitry, relays were used for highly sophisticated control of electronic systems. Today’s retro-engineering and ...
