You may have come across two terms about using relays for switching. One term is “dry” and the other is “wet.” Where these two words come from is beyond my understanding, but rest assured that those ...

Two simple tests can go a long way toward ensuring the reliability of today�s reed relays. The reliability of today�s dry-reed relays can approach or exceed that of electronic components in many ...

The contact-horsepower rating provides the maximum motor loading that a relay can withstand without premature failure. Relays that you use in industrial- and automotive-control systems for the purpose ...

The cost of component failures continues to increase as electronic products become more complex. Most component replacement costs are associated with marginal devices that become intermittent or fail ...
