When we think of relays, we tend to think of those big mechanical things that make a satisfying ‘click’ when activated. As nice as they are for relay-based computers, there are times when you don’t ...

One of the biggest trends in the switch and relay markets is the call for more options to help designers select the best switching device for their application. Other big asks are for longer life, ...

HAWTHORNE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teledyne Relays, a pioneer in advanced switching solutions announces the launch of its latest innovation: the DC-40 GHz, SP8T Coaxial Switch. This addition provides ...

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 ...

I have 3 Dell powerconnect 6200 series L3 switches coming this week and was wondering how best to configure them. They will be configure as "stacking" and we have multiple VLans that will be setup on ...

As automation expands, mechanical functions are relying more and more on electronic control. Solenoids provide an electromechanical interface for many of these applications. In addition, many ...

An electrical relay is a type of heavy-duty, remote-control switch able to handle high-current accessories, yet capable of being actuated by substantially less current. Relays install between the ...

The reed relay was invented in 1936 by Bell Telephone Laboratories. Since that time, it has gradually evolved from very large, relatively crude parts to the small, ultra-reliable parts we have today.

As an electric motor’s rotor turns in close proximity to the motor windings, a bucking voltage or back electromotive force (EMF) is generated. The back EMF (BEMF) generated across the start winding is ...

I tested a $15 smart switch and uncovered a $1,500-a-year energy waste in the kitchen ...
