Pickering and Microchip march on with new electromechanical solutions that handle tasks which are still a struggle for their ...

But what if all you have on hand is an ESP8266? [TechColab] needed to control a solenoid valve with a short pulse via a solid-state relay (SSR) but found that the trusty 555 timer was tricky to ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has announced the release of two new industrial-grade 1 Form A solid-state relays, the VO1401AEFTR and VOR1003M4T. Designed for demanding environments, these ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has announced the launch of two new industrial-grade solid-state relays, the VO1401AEFTR and VOR1003M4T, designed in a surface-mount SOP-4 package. These relays ...

5A load current is only allowed up to 20°C, above which capacity linearly declines to 1A at 85°C. A similar solid-state relay, VO1401AEFTR, was introduced at the same time, rated at 550mA and 60V.

The final hardware makes use of a 78M05 500 mA linear regulator, a PIC16F1824 microcontroller, and a pair of AQY211EH solid state relays. The standard five pin layout used for automotive relays ...
