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 ...

“You could’ve done that with a 555 timer.” But what if all you have on hand is an ESP8266? [TechColab] needed to control a solenoid valve with a short pulse via a solid-state relay (SSR) but found ...

Electromechanical relays for testing products ranging from automotive engines to thermocouples are readily available, low-cost devices you can use to route signals originating from almost anywhere. It ...

Hybrid relays are changing the way we think about switching inside electronic circuits. By combining the fast response of solid-state components with the reliability of mechanical contacts, these ...

Aiming at 800V automotive battery management, Vishay has put a 1,500V Form A solid-state relay into a 10 x 10mm 4pin SMD-8 package. Back-to-back mosfets are used at the output to switch ac or dc ...
