  2. Relay logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay_logic

    A relay logic circuit is an electrical network consisting of lines, or rungs, in which each line or rung must have continuity to enable the output device. A typical circuit consists of a number of rungs, with each rung controlling an output. This output is controlled by a combination of input or output conditions, such as input switches and ...

  3. Relay - Wikipedia

    A relay Electromechanical relay principle Electromechanical relay schematic showing a control coil, four pairs of normally open and one pair of normally closed contacts An automotive-style miniature relay with the dust cover taken off. A relay is an electrically operated switch. It consists of a set of input terminals for a single or multiple ...

  4. Reed switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_switch

    The reed switch[i] is an electromechanical switch operated by an applied magnetic field. It was invented in 1922 by professor Valentin Kovalenkov at the Petrograd Electrotechnical University, [1] and later evolved at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1936 by Walter B. Ellwood into the reed relay.

  5. Electromechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromechanics

    Electromechanics. A relay is a common electro-mechanical device. Electromechanics[1][2][3][4] combines processes and procedures drawn from electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Electromechanics focuses on the interaction of electrical and mechanical systems as a whole and how the two systems interact with each other.

  6. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations ...

  7. Solid-state relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_relay

    Solid-state relay. A solid state relay (SSR) is an electronic switching device that switches on or off when an external voltage (AC or DC) is applied across its control terminals. They serve the same function as an electromechanical relay, but solid-state electronics contain no moving parts and have a longer operational lifetime.

  8. Stepping switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepping_switch

    In electrical engineering, a stepping switch or stepping relay, also known as a uniselector, is an electromechanical device that switches an input signal path to one of several possible output paths, directed by a train of electrical pulses. The major use of stepping switches was in early automatic telephone exchanges to route telephone calls.

  9. Electrical contact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_contact

    An electromagnetic relay with a pair of contacts. An electrical contact is an electrical circuit component found in electrical switches, relays, connectors and circuit breakers. [1] Each contact is a piece of electrically conductive material, typically metal. When a pair of contacts touch, they can pass an electrical current with a certain ...
