The 1-Wire Net, or MicroLAN (by Maxim-Dallas), is a simple way to connect slow devices (such as sensors, relay drivers, switches, and so on) using simple components. These components contain the ...

How many remote controls do you have in your home? Don’t you wish all these things were better integrated somehow, or that you could add remote control functionality to a random device? It’s a common ...

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 ...

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.

What's a designer to do when challenged with a switching application that requires handling up to 70 kV? These applications are not as rare as one may think. In fact, a broad range of applications in ...

FCL Components has introduced signal switching relays for electric vehicle power monitoring. “Conventional signal relays have often been used to switch signals for on-board equipment in electric ...
