This AC power switch circuit senses the presence of AC current in one outlet of a multi-outlet power strip and switches power to the remaining outlet(s). It utilizes a current transformer, single ...

Power relays are specifically designed to handle either AC or DC. It’s important to know the fundamental differences between them before building them into a system. Introduction to AC and DC Power ...

Relays are electromechanical devices that use a magnetic solenoid to actual a switch. When current is passed through the solenoid coil, it produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field is strengthened ...

Hybrid relays combine a mechanical switch with a solid-state switch, and they are set up in parallel to control a single load.

Omron Electronic Components Europe has extended its AC relay portfolio to provide its highest ever current and voltage capacity for AC PCB relays. The G9KA-E is able to operate with voltage capacity ...

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.
