[Glitch] got his hands on a slew of relays which are meant for use in industrial equipment. They are designed to operate at 24V. He wanted to use these with common microcontrollers and instead of ...

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a pervasive challenge in the realm of modern electronics, influencing the performance, reliability and compliance of numerous devices. As industries continue to ...

Hendon Semiconductors releases the IES5541A IC as the key component of a mains relay drive and relay contact protection circuit for effective arc suppression. It delivers effective arc suppression ...

Relays usually are driven using optocouplers, which offer isolation between analog and digital grounds to ensure that switching currents in the relay coils do not affect the noise margin of the ...

The addition of a components and an unused NC contact to a dc supply provides a power-reducing feature to a relay driver circuit. Electromagnetic relays need much less power for holding than they do ...

Electromechanical components such as relays and switches often must undergo endurance tests that verify their reliability and safety. Regulatory standards typically have compliance criteria that ...
