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, ...

When to use mechanical vs. solid-state devices. The parameters that should be considered when selecting a device. Optimize your selection for lowest cost/maximum ...

Over my almost 60 years in the auto repair industry as an ASE and GM Master Technician, and vocational education automotive technology instructor, I have seen firsthand how vehicles have evolved from ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has announced the launch of two new industrial-grade solid-state relays, the VO1401AEFTR and VOR1003M4T, designed in a surface-mount SOP-4 package. These relays feature ...

Off capacitance between the source and drain (C DS(OFF)) is a measure of an off switch’s ability to block a signal on the source from coupling to the drain. It’s a common specification seen in ...

What is an automotive relay? In simple terms, an automotive relay is a small cube shaped electronically operated electromechanical switch. It uses an electromagnetic device to mechanically maneuver a ...

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 ...

To reduce on-resistance To enable higher load currents in ac/dc switching applications To compensate for load current de-rating as temperatures increase, to minimize heat from output power dissipation ...

Weidmuller is proud to introduce a new line of long life single-phase and three-phase Power Solid-State Relays (PSSR). These relays are designed to reliably switch AC loads up to 20 Amps, making them ...
