Many electronic designs can take advantage of the improved performance of solid-state relays (SSRs) relative to that of electromechanical relays (EMRs) that perform the same circuit function. OptoMOS® ...

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 ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Relays have enabled low-voltage signals to control high-voltage systems since before the invention of the transistor. With very low on-resistance, the ...

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, ...

If you've ever wondered how electronic devices manage to control circuits with precision and safety, you're thinking about the magic of relays. Relays act as the unsung heroes in many of our devices, ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. announced the availability of the first three devices in its new VOR family of hybrid solid-state relays designed to deliver high reliability and noiseless switching for ...

While exotic semiconductors enjoy most of the glory in the power universe, venerable relay technology continues to evolve and take on tasks that are problematic for their solid-state cousins. Two ...
