Check out this link for On Semiconductor’s datasheet for a line of “Zero-Cross Optocoupled Triac Drivers.” The ability to zero-cross when turning on AC line voltage to some loads may be advantageous.

Hybrid relays are changing the way we think about switching inside electronic circuits. By combining the fast response of solid-state components with the reliability of mechanical contacts, these ...

Mechanical relays, contactors, and switches control the flow of electricity by the mechanical action of two conducting elements. The physical contact of two conducting elements creates a path for ...

Solid-state relays (SSRs) control load currents through solid-state switches such as triacs, SCRs, or power transistors. Solid-state relays (SSRs) control load currents through solid-state switches ...

Evolving from magnetic coil actuators to capacitive-coupled isolation, the ever-shrinking relay continues to be an essential component within the automation arena. Modern relay technology has been ...

THE ISOLAR BX SOLAR SYSTEM CONTROLLER is a multi-functional differential controller that can be used in a wide variety of solar heating applications. It features four relay outputs — three are triac ...

When we think of relays, we tend to think of those big mechanical things that make a satisfying ‘click’ when activated. As nice as they are for relay-based computers, there are times when you don’t ...

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, ...
