Sometimes, the most unexpected detours lead to the most interesting discoveries. After a brief break, I found myself revisiting latching relays—not just as components, but as puzzles waiting to be ...

The latching DW relay from Panasonic has been developed for smart meters, in particular the switching of heater circuit-breakers. Available from TTI, the relays can also be used to minimise standby ...

Single-coil latching relays, whose applications include signal routing, audio, and automotive systems, can pose a design challenge because coil current must flow in both directions through a single ...

Over the years, control relays of various types have been used by the hundreds — even thousands — to control nearly every function in commercial and industrial processes. Today, many of those ...

Relays are electromechanical devices that use a magnetic solenoid to actual a switch. When current is passed through the solenoid coil, it produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field is strengthened ...
