Building the world’s smallest reed relay isn’t just a design exercise, it’s a test of how well a supply chain can repeat precision at scale.

Targeting very high-density applications such as automated test equipment (ATE) switching matrices or multiplexers, the relay also performs well in mixed-signal environments. It maintains an ...

Electronic relays have evolved a lot since their introduction in the early '30s, but their basic purpose hasn't changed. Transistors and integrated circuits have replaced vacuum tubes and the term ...

The addition of a components and an unused NC contact to a dc supply provides a power-reducing feature to a relay driver circuit. Electromagnetic relays need much less power for holding than they do ...

Manufacturers of switches and relays have faced several big challenges over the past few years. OEMs, particularly in higher-reliability markets, continue to look for greater flexibility and ...

Component manufacturers face increased demand for switches and relays that offer longer life cycles and smaller packages and can operate in harsh environments. Many of these new devices offer low ...
