You can choose from a wide range of relays but do you know what type to use in your project? Well, sometimes is hard to choose, especially if you’re not sure which model you need or how a specific one ...

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 ...

Relays and contactors use a variety of technologies to switch signals and power connections. Many devices called relays use similar techniques and topologies, but the terminology can be confusing.

Since the introduction of solid-state relays some decades ago, the debate over which is better, solid-state relays (SSRs) or electromechanical relays (EMRs), has gone on. The general answer is neither ...

If you're curious about the function of a relay in the context of home automation and the Internet of Things, here you go. In this piece, we'll explain the practical applications of many different ...

A relay module is an electrical component. Various industries use this circuit board that houses one or more electric switches or relays in different circuits and electrical projects. Relay boards are ...

Although they have been superseded in some applications by newer technologies, such as solid state relays, electromechanical relays (EMRs) still have a lot to offer. Of all the relay types, EMRs are ...

I appreciated the feedback I got on my switch blog (This Little Switch Went to Market). This time, let's deal with the electromechanical (E/M) device, the relay. I know there are solid-state relays; I ...

The cost of component failures continues to increase as electronic products become more complex. Most component replacement costs are associated with marginal devices that become intermittent or fail ...

ABB has installed more than 700,000 SPACOM relays used for power system protection and reliable power system operation world-wide. With the older generation of relays now aging, ABB is developing new ...
