Relays series expanded with new 3 A DC-rated version
Carlo Gavazzi introduced the expansion of their RM1D Series Solid State Relays, which will now include a 3 Amp DC-rated version. This new addition, the RM1D060D3, will have a rated output voltage of up to 60 VDC. This extension was inspired by evolving market research that showed a large portion of the DC solid-state relay market […]
Reed relays now offered in 5kV stand-off, up two 1.5kV switching version
Pickering Electronics has added a 5kV stand-off, up to 1.5kV switching version to its single-in-line Series 104 reed relay family. Previously, to achieve a 5kV stand-off rating, a larger, non-SIP (Single-in-Line-Package) relay was required. Four of the new 104 5D parts can fit the same PCB area that one larger style occupied, even with sufficient […]
High-power reed relays switch up to 1 kVDC
Standex Electronics introduces a new BH series of high-power reed relays. This relay series can switch up to 1 kVDC while providing a breakdown voltage of 3 kVDC and higher across the open contacts. The integrated Electrostatic Shield and axial switch leads ensure high insulation resistance of 10 TOhm across the open contacts as well […]
High-voltage reed relays measure just 17.2 x 10.5 x 8.5
Standex Electronics introduces a brand new MHV series of miniature high voltage reed relays. This surface mount device (SMD) series body measures only L17.2 mm x W10.5 mm x H8.5 mm. Making the MHV series the smallest in the entire high-voltage offering. These Reed Relays are designed to switch system voltage levels up to 1kVDC […]
Relay provides arc-flash protection in compact packages
The AF0025 series arc-flash relay is a cost-effective and OEM-focused solution that provides innovative arc-flash protection in a compact package. The relay significantly reduces arc-fault damage in AC and DC compartments by detecting the light from an arc flash using one or two optical sensors, and rapidly providing a trip signal. The compact design means […]
PCB mount relays can be used in industrial control and electronics applications
RC relays are PCB relays that provide quality switching contacts within a compact package. IDEC’s RC relays meet the rigorous requirements of an industrial control panel in a small package. The RC relays are small yet maintain high contact ratings with long electrical life. Available in SPST-NO, SPDT, and DPDT contact arrangements with 8A,12A 16A […]
Voltage reed relay now rated up to 150°C
Pickering Electronics launched a new high-temperature high voltage single-in-line reed relay that can operate at up to 125°C. The new Series 104HT relay belongs to a family of miniature high-voltage reed relays and is available in the SIL package on a 6.35mm (0.25in) pitch, with a stand-off voltage capability of up to 4kV. The […]
Relay modules sport double connection possibilities per terminal
Weinstadt has expanded its tried-and-tested relay family LCIS to include three new models: new additions to the program are the LCIS2 relay module with 1 and 2 changeover contacts and the LCIS3 relay module with 4 changeover contacts. All new relay models are available as DC 12V, DC 24 V, AC 115 V, or DC […]
An overview of signal relays
Signal relays are devices that are commonly used to control the flow of electrical current in a wide range of applications, from simple household appliances to complex industrial systems. Their simple design has made them a go-to component for safely and reliably controlling circuits from a distance. Signal relays are typically tasked with switching current […]
