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 ...

Proper selection and effective testing can increase contact reliability in the end product while reducing the overall cost of using relays. Who said relays are pass�? While electromechanical relays ...

Electromechanical components such as relays and switches often must undergo endurance tests that verify their reliability and safety. Regulatory standards typically have compliance criteria that ...

IRVINE, Calif. – Pasternack, an Infinite Electronics brand in Irvine, Calif., is introducing micro-sized, surface mount, single-pole, double-throw electromechanical relay switches for applications ...

Push-to-Test Button Electromechanical Relays are devices that incorporate a manual pushbutton feature, allowing users to test the relay circuit. This functionality enables operators to verify the ...

IEC 61850 is the new international communication standard for substations. The main goal of 61850 is to obtain interoperability between different protective devices from different vendors. IEC 61850 ...

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, ...

High voltage relays are electromechanical devices used to switch high voltage (> 1kV) signals. They operate using the same basic principles as electromechanical relays, but include features designed ...

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.
