Here’s a MEMS relay with an integrated FET that can handle higher power levels, breaking away from the “low power” moniker associated with MEMS parts. Paul Rako takes a closer look at what makes this ...

Since the mid-1980s, semiconductor technology has promised to provide smart power products for solid-state relays that could carry high current and provide unique functions for customers. However, ...

Imagine a component that combines the heavy-duty muscle of a power relay with the surgical precision of a digital signal. That is the essence of a pulse width modulation (PWM) relay. While traditional ...

An electrical relay is a type of heavy-duty, remote-control switch able to handle high-current accessories, yet capable of being actuated by substantially less current. Relays install between the ...

DARPA selected RTX Corporation, Draper, and BEAM Co to design prototype lop wireless optical power relays. The Persistent Optical Wireless Energy Relay (POWER) program, aimed at revolutionizing energy ...

Meeting the requirements of MIL-PRF-83536 specification and ISO-9001 certification, this new series of power relays has been specifically engineered for mission-critical commercial aviation, defence ...

OMRON Electronic Components Europe is attending the smarter E Europe 2026, the alliance of exhibitions for the energy industry, demonstrating solutions to enable electrified lifestyles.

Providing power via contact-closure circuits historically required a new third wire, but perhaps no longer. Say the words “solid-state relay” (SSR) and most engineers also naturally think of two ...

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.

I tested a $15 smart switch and uncovered a $1,500-a-year energy waste in the kitchen ...
