OMRON Electronic has expanded its G9EK screw‑terminal relay series with the launch of the G9EK‑1‑EX DC power relay.

Pickering Electronics has introduced a single-in-line reed relay family that mounts on a 0.25inch pitch while switching 80W or 2A. Called Series 144, they feature sputtered ruthenium contacts so they ...

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 ...

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 ...

Clacton-on-Sea, UK. Pickering Electronics announced it is celebrating 50 years of manufacturing reed relays. Founded in 1968 by the late John Moore, the business saw sales in 2017 up by 30% over the ...

Omron has designed a relay that can interrupt 200A at 500V, aiming to displace contactors from dc electric vehicle chargers, batteries and solar inverters. “A proprietary gas-less design cools arcs ...

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 ...

Researchers have come up with a new type of nanoelectromechanical relay to enable reliable high-temperature, non-volatile memory. The work is an important development for all-electric vehicles 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 ...
