The reed relay was invented in 1936 by Bell Telephone Laboratories. Since that time, it has gradually evolved from very large, relatively crude parts to the small, ultra-reliable parts we have today.

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 ...

Inspired by input from panel builders, system integrators and end users around the world, Rockwell Automation engineers developed the new Allen-Bradley E300 electronic overload relay. The E300 ...

Reed relays contain a reed switch, a coil for creating a magnetic field, an optional diode for handling back EMF from the coil, and an encapsulating package with connection terminals. In many ways, a ...

CLACTON-ON-SEA, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pickering Electronics, the global leader in high-performance reed relays, has introduced its most customizable range of high voltage reed relays to date, ...

Pickering Electronics had added a single-in-line reed relay which can stand-off 5kV and switch 1.5kV to its Series 104. Inside is a single-pole normally-open contact (‘1 Form A’). Footprint is 6.22 x ...

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 ...

The project has been constructed for applications that require automatic temperature control while providing highly accurate thermal control circuit. The LM35 temperature sensor is the heart of the ...

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 ...
