This chapter covers representative general-purpose relays used in the control circuits of most industrial, commercial, and consumer products. Relay names and terminology are in accordance with ...

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 ...

Traditional relay drivers involve multiple discrete components to drive the relay and protect against damage to the microcontroller or other devices that can be caused by the voltage spike generated ...
