How about the mechanical relay? There are many good reasons for using solid-state solutions, but the mechanical types still have their place and may be the right solution.

In this article, we are going to dive into two specialized types of relays that are crucial for modern electronics: solid-state relays (SSRs) and monitoring relays.

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 ...

CARLO GAVAZZI is proud to announce our newest generation of solid state relays and contactors, the RG Series. This new range of AC and DC solid state switching devices is an ideal solution for ...

[SaltyPuglord] needed a solid state relay for a project. We’d have just bought one, but he decided to design his own in LTSpice. Along the way he made the video below, which is pretty ...

Solid-state switches are either solid-state relays with isolated contacts, or FET switches with non-isolated contacts. Solid-state relays use optical isolation to control a MOSFET switch capable of ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: For automotive and industrial apps, solid-state relays offer higher reliability than mechanical and optical devices while cutting solution size ...

These solid-state relays aim to replace traditional electromechanical relays, which are prone to vibration-related failures. Vishay’s optical relays offer vibration-proof, contactless switching ...

Combining proven Crydom solid state relays with the new HSseries heat sinks allows Crydom to offer a variety of standard andadapted “ready to use” Solid State Relay/Heat Sink Assemblies. Ratingsfrom ...
