Omron has a series of compact PCB mount power relays designed to handle ‘TV-8’ in-rush surges, and they are available with standard coils or two forms of bi-stable coils. Called the G5Q-HR range, they ...

There are several factors in taking a particular design approach, and they are not always independent. Some of the considerations when designing drivers for inductive loads are size, cost, switching ...

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 ...

When I think of economizer circuits for solenoids and relays, I’m reminded of the phrase, “you can’t have your cake and eat it, too.” This phrase comes to mind because if you use a solenoid economizer ...
