ATS is a piece of hardware that automatically shifts the electrical load from primary power supply to a backup or standby ...

Optically isolated solid-state relays (SSRs) (also called optocouplers or photovoltaic relays) were developed to overcome ...

The wiring is easy to remember – wire the diodes in a way that they don’t conduct from 3.3 V to GND, so, in reverse, same way you’d wire up a diode to shunt a relay coil.

UDRI researchers identify failure modes and mechanisms to determine the root cause of failure. We analyze and characterize a variety of both passive and active electrical components including printed ...

Not long after I began contributing to Hagerty eight years ago, I wrote a detailed four-part piece on electrical relays and how they work in cars. You can still find the articles here (Part I: Why We ...

Understand the importance of using a freewheeling diode to prevent voltage spikes and ensure proper energy discharge in electronic circuits.

ElFys has launched circular four-quadrant near-infra-red detector with a 14mm diameter active area, leading to 38.5mm2 of sensing surface in each quarter.

In this letter, we study an indoor downlink cooperative hybrid visible light communication (VLC) and radio frequency (RF) scenario using a relay node to reduce system outage probability. In particular ...

A novel 256-element wirelessly powered transceiver array for non-line-of-sight 5G communication, featuring efficient wireless power transmission and high-power conversion efficiency, has been ...

How do you really test an automotive relay at home? Here is our guide on how you can do it in a few simple steps completely by yourself at home.
