Relay

Why I still like electromechanical relays – and you should, too (maybe)

May 24, 2022 By Bill Schweber Leave a Comment

The solid-state relay may be the first choice, but the venerable electromagnetic relay offers attributes the SSR cannot provide and so may be the best solution. Everything is solid-state these days, right? Even that one holdover, the vacuum-tube magnetron at the heart of the home microwave oven, is seeing some early signs of competition from […]
