1-11-2005 | Some motorcyclists not only enjoy tweaking the engine but also dabble in electronics. The author encountered problems with the mechanical tu...

1-11-2004 | Although bistable relays boast significant advantages, their use appears limited to niche applications, probably because their practical use...

1-07-2004 | Some relays will become warm if they remain energised for some time. The circuit shown here will actuate the relay as before but then reduce...

1-07-2004 | With battery-operated equipment there’s always the risk of batteries being inserted the wrong way around. Although a diode or a bridge recti...

1-07-2004 | Switched mode power supply units (SMPSUs) are popular but difficult to build oneself as well problematic when it comes to understanding thei...

1-07-2004 | This circuit proves that microcoprocessors, PCs and the latest ultra-accurate DACs are overkill when it comes to controlling four relays in...

1-12-2003 | With extended periods of bright sunshine and warm weather, even relatively large storage batteries in solar-power systems can become rather...

1-12-2003 | Relays are often used as electrically controlled switches. Unlike transistors, their switch contacts are electrically isolated from the cont...

1-12-2002 | Bistable relays are particularly useful in applications where very low power consumption is important. This is because they only use a littl...

1-07-2002 | There exist special types of relay that have peculiar characteristics. Next to the ‘normal’ types in the catalogue we find the so-called ‘la...
