This application note deals with problems related to the methods used in deenergizing electromagnetic relay coils, particularly when a solid state switch is used, and how they affect relay life. It is ...

Think of the word “relay” and the image that might come to mind is of an old-fashioned telegraph system consisting of a series of magnetic switches that replicate-thereforerecreate and propagate a ...

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.

The cost of component failures continues to increase as electronic products become more complex. Most component replacement costs are associated with marginal devices that become intermittent or fail ...
