Murrelektronik optocouplers, slim interface relays and multi-mode relay timers are now available from AutomationDirect. Murrelektronik optocouplers (from $16.50) are used to combine different signal ...

WIXOM -- The Wixom manufacturing electronics manufacturer Acromag has released new BusWorks XT Series multi-channel optocouplers and interposing relay modules that connect discrete field devices to ...

Few realize how close an optical coupler resembles a relay. It is so close, in fact, that one can be wired as a Run-Stop latch circuit. One advantage over the relay is that it may be turned off via a ...

Omron has announced mosfet opto-relays that can switch 3.3Aac or 6.6Adc, giving them the highest-ever current carrying capacity, said the firm. Mosfet relays use light to isolate the primary side, ...

Relays usually are driven using optocouplers, which offer isolation between analog and digital grounds to ensure that switching currents in the relay coils do not affect the noise margin of the ...

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 ...

If you ever find yourself swapping between a mix of audio inputs and outputs and get tired of plugging cables all the time, check out [winslomb]’s audio multiplexer with integrated amplifier. The ...

Panasonic has produced a 6pin DIP-style opto-relay that can switch 1.2kV at 750mA. Called AQV209G, it comes in through-hole and surface-mount versions and has a single ac-dc output with two mosfets ...

Raspberry Pi owners looking to use higher voltages with their mini PC, might be interested in this new opto-isolator board called the Opto-pi which has been specifically designed to be used with the ...

Raspberry Pi users may be interested in a new 8 channel relay board named the PiRelay 8, specifically created for the Raspberry Pi range of mini PC systems. The relay board allows you to connect up to ...
