This application note deals with problems related to the methods used in deenergizing electromagnetic relay coils, particularly when a solid state switch is used, and how they affect relay life. It is ...

Potential relays are commonly found on many smaller, single-phase, capacitor-start, capacitor-run motors in the HVACR industry. Their function is to assist in starting the electric motor. Potential ...

Single-coil latching relays, whose applications include signal routing, audio, and automotive systems, can pose a design challenge because coil current must flow in both directions through a single ...

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 ...

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.
