Off-the-shelf Solid State Relays (SSR) are reliable and compact, but it’s hard to find one that can conduct more than a few hundred milliamps of current. If you need an isolated SSR to switch line ...

Malvern, Pa. — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. is now providing detailed thermal characteristics for its newly released optocouplers and solid-state relays (SSRs) that have a total power dissipation of ...

Promising to simplify solid-state relay, ac-motor control, and lighting ballast designs, the FOD420 and FOD4208 random-phase, snubber-less triac drive optocouplers integrate active dv/dt clamps to ...

The importance of signal isolation in high-voltage design The difference between optocouplers and opto-emulators Details on TI’s silicon dioxide (SiO 2) isolation technology Isolation is invaluable in ...

When we think of relays, we tend to think of those big mechanical things that make a satisfying ‘click’ when activated. As nice as they are for relay-based computers, there are times when you don’t ...
