This Design Idea shows how to use a 63¢ (Q=1) microprocessor reset voltage detector IC in a relay coil drive circuit to greatly reduce the coil’s hold-in current. When asked to estimate the coil ...

Rather than use a fixed-rail voltage source, it’s more efficient and flexible to utilize a current source so that performance remains consistent while supply rail and coil resistance change. Relays ...

Stand-alone coreless, differential current sensing is here with Allegro's family of coreless current sensors, including the new ACS37610. Stand-alone coreless, differential current sensing is here ...

Willow Technologies are selling a magnetic arc blowout relay from Durakool which has a maximum switching voltage of 145Vdc. It is designed for electric vehicle systems which might use 48Vdc, 72Vdc or ...

Can current-sensor ICs win out against the shunt resistor and other passive components? Check out some of the latest offerings on the market in this Products of the Week gallery. For any electronic ...

This low current relay circuit is designed to be used in battery operated electronic devices. Its operating current is in micro amperes (µA). This is done by using a bistable relay and adding some ...

With distance and speed of charging vital in the competitive EV sector high-power integrated traction inverters – which convert DC into AC and capture energy for the vehicle – need to combine ...

Use of 4-to-20-mA current loops involves more than just a simple series connection between sensor, display, and power supply. The point where a sensor takes a measurement is, at times, many yards away ...

Usually, when you need to sense something in a project, the answers are straightforward. Want to sense air temperature? There’s a sensor for that. Particulate content in the air? There’s a sensor for ...

GREENVILLE, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lighting pros crave convenience and control and Current provides both with the NX Dual Tech OMNI (NXSMDT-OMNI) smart occupancy sensor—new to the NX Lighting Controls ...
