Manufacturers of switches and relays have faced several big challenges over the past few years. OEMs, particularly in higher-reliability markets, continue to look for greater flexibility and ...

Achieve max electric fuel pump output and safety using a relay plus an oil pressure safety switch. Achieving maximum output and safety with a custom-wired electric fuel pump requires a properly ...

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 ...

Real switches and relays exhibit a finite resistance called “contact resistance,” which increases over time with the number of actuations. Furthermore, as a switch or relay changes state, the contacts ...

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 ...

The FAN324x family of smart dual-coil relay drivers with integrated switches and wafer-level adjust capability for timing customization, is available in an 8-lead SOIC package and is part of Fairchild ...

Pickering has created a high voltage reed relay, that can stand off 1.5kV and switch up to 1kV. Called Series 131, they are single pole (normally-open) single-in-like devices with a 12.5 x 3.7mm ...
