Sometimes, the most unexpected detours lead to the most interesting discoveries. After a brief break, I found myself revisiting latching relays—not just as components, but as puzzles waiting to be ...

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 ...

Most of Europe’s 240 million electricity meters are expected to be replaced by smart meters by 2020. It is currently estimated that approximately 78 million of these meters will need to use AC ...

The 385 series of mechanically-latched, electrically-reset relays are used where the relay contacts need to remain in the last set position with the power off. The terminals have a single-piece ...

A new latching relay output module provides fail-safe control by latching the last output contact state, on or off, prior to power-down. The G-1AMPx-LTCH relay module is compatible with industry ...

Same Sky has introduced a family of latching power relays with single or double coils, and 10 to 20A ratings. PRL relays, as they will be known, have silver alloy contacts and come in SPST (1 Form A), ...

Relays are clunky, switch slowly, have contact bounce, and make noise, both acoustically and electromagnetically, so why are they still used? Relays are clunky, switch slowly, have contact bounce, and ...
