One of the most frustrating challenges for control engineers and specialists is the potential early failure of interposing or interfacing relays used to drive inductive loads. This is especially true ...

AC or DC general-use snap switches may be used for control of inductive loads not exceeding _____% of the ampere rating of the switch at the applied voltage. Snap switches shall be used as noted in ...

When choosing a switch to use in an electrical design project, there is a perception that it is possible to use any switch, provided its current rating is greater than the maximum load in the circuit.

The LS6506R is a pyroelectric infrared (PIR) sensor interface IC that is designed to drive a latching relay. However, the device can be used in a wall-switch configuration (no Neutral available) to ...

Solid-state relays are much smaller than corresponding single-pole relays. They are also faster, dissipate less power, and withstand a larger number of operations. And unlike electromechanical relays, ...
