If you've ever wondered how electronic devices manage to control circuits with precision and safety, you're thinking about the magic of relays. Relays act as the unsung heroes in many of our devices, ...

Solid-state relays are much smaller than corresponding single-pole relays. They are also faster, dissipate less power, and withstand a larger number of operations. And unlike electromechanical relays, ...

When to use mechanical vs. solid-state devices. The parameters that should be considered when selecting a device. Optimize your selection for lowest cost/maximum ...

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 ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has announced the launch of two new industrial-grade solid-state relays, the VO1401AEFTR and VOR1003M4T, designed in a surface-mount SOP-4 package. These relays feature ...

The advent of the touchscreen/capacitive sensing has many engineers wondering: Is the mechanical switch obsolete? How about the mechanical relay? There are many good ...
