This Design Idea shows how to use a 63¢ (Q=1) microprocessor reset voltage detector IC in a relay coil drive circuit to greatly reduce the coil’s hold-in current. When asked to estimate the coil ...

This low current relay circuit is designed to be used in battery operated electronic devices. Its operating current is in micro amperes (µA). This is done by using a bistable relay and adding some ...

An electrical relay is a type of heavy-duty, remote-control switch able to handle high-current accessories, yet capable of being actuated by substantially less current. Relays install between the ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and computer-based controllers are great for handling logic and data-collection tasks for industrial controls. But when it comes to driving motors, heaters, ...

Over the years, control relays of various types have been used by the hundreds — even thousands — to control nearly every function in commercial and industrial processes. Today, many of those ...

The ADAM-6066 is a high current relay output module designed to meet the requirements of power switching applications. The ADAM-6066’s six relay output channels are rated at 5A at 240VDC, and support ...

Equipped with two release-current paths and one signal-current path and with reinforced insulation separating the paths, the PSR safety relays are said to provide reliable protection for any and all ...
