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 ...

A relay module is an electrical component. Various industries use this circuit board that houses one or more electric switches or relays in different circuits and electrical projects. Relay boards are ...

A friend once asked about the block of relays pinned to a board behind my car's dash. To him relays were the mysterious little boxes that some cars inexplicably required to operate a horn. More than ...

IDEC Corporation has enhanced their popular HW series of 22mm switches and pilot lights, as well as the SJ/SU series of relay sockets, with new options for push-in wiring technology, continuing 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 ...

We show you how to wire in an electric fan relay kit with a thermostatic switch. If you've got an electric cooling fan on your classic car or hot rod and you want to know how to wire it with a relay, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Selecting the right solution to optimize the distribution of power to the connected loads is imperative for maximum system uptime. Switches, breakers, remote signals across Ethernet and automated ...
