This AC power switch circuit senses the presence of AC current in one outlet of a multi-outlet power strip and switches power to the remaining outlet(s). It utilizes a current transformer, single ...

IXYS Integrated Circuits Division (formerly Clare, Inc.) would like to highlight the CPC1998, 5Arms AC Power Relay. The CPC1998, an AC solid state switch utilizing dual optically isolated power SCRs, ...

Relays are electromechanical devices that use a magnetic solenoid to actual a switch. When current is passed through the solenoid coil, it produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field is strengthened ...

The addition of a components and an unused NC contact to a dc supply provides a power-reducing feature to a relay driver circuit. Electromagnetic relays need much less power for holding than they do ...
