The new SNAP-OMR6-A and SNAP-OMR6-C power relay output modules offer four separate channels of switching for up to 250 VAC or 30 VDC, 6 amp loads. Significantly, the new modules are designed and built ...

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 ...

Mechanical relays, contactors, and switches control the flow of electricity by the mechanical action of two conducting elements. The physical contact of two conducting elements creates a path for ...

Building off of yesterday’s question related to the relevancy of vacuum tubes in modern electronics, we ask the same type of question today. Why are relays still used in modern electronics when there ...

There are plenty of analog and digital synthesis modules available in Eurorack format. But how about one that actually does physical percussion while capturing the output at the same time? The VU Perc ...

Mechanical relays continue to enjoy a growing demand and so far can't be replaced by solid state relays (SSR). Compared to SSRs, the lower cost, contact resistance and the galvanic isolation of ...

Solid-state relays provide robust solutions for electronic switching in load control applications and hold many advantages over electromechanical relays. New, emerging solid-state relay designs offer ...

[Alex] was tasked with a control design problem for a set of motors. The application called for the back of a truck to open up, some 3D scanning equipment to rise from its enclosure, and finally the ...

(Nanowerk News) A collaborative consortium hopes to build the world’s first fully functioning nano-electro-mechanical (NEM) relay-based processor targeting an energy efficiency that cannot be matched ...
