With a few mouse clicks you can easily purchase Solid State Relays (SSRs) online. Or you can make one at home with a handful of different electronic parts. The question is– should I buy it or make it ...

If you've ever wondered how electronic devices manage to control circuits with precision and safety, you're thinking about the magic of relays. Relays act as the unsung heroes in many of our devices, ...

Solid-state relays are much smaller than corresponding single-pole relays. They are also faster, dissipate less power, and withstand a larger number of operations. And unlike electromechanical relays, ...

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 ...

Off capacitance between the source and drain (C DS(OFF)) is a measure of an off switch’s ability to block a signal on the source from coupling to the drain. It’s a common specification seen in ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has announced the launch of two new industrial-grade solid-state relays, the VO1401AEFTR and VOR1003M4T, designed in a surface-mount SOP-4 package. These relays feature ...

Solid-state relays (SSRs) control load currents through solid-state switches such as triacs, SCRs, or power transistors. These elements are controlled by input signals coupled to the switching devices ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced the availability of the first three devices in its new VOR family of hybrid solid-state relays designed to deliver high reliability and noiseless switching for ...
