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 […]
What’s a protective relay and what does it protect?
A protection relay is a smart device that receives inputs like current, voltage, resistance, temperature, or even light, compares them to set points, and provides outputs such as visual feedback in the form of indicator lights and/or an alphanumeric display, communications, control warnings, alarms, and turning the power off and on. They are used for […]
Power relays offer max switching currents from 5 A up to 40 A
CUI Devices’ Relays Group announced its continued product expansion with the addition of a new line of power relays. Ideal for high-level current switching in a range of industrial applications, measurement, and control equipment, and safety systems, CUI Devices’ power relays boast industry-best lead times and offer max switching currents from 5 A up to 40 A. […]
Why I still like electromechanical relays – and you should, too (maybe)
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 […]
