  2. Flyback diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyback_diode

    When used with a DC coil relay, a flyback diode can cause delayed drop-out of the contacts when power is removed, due to the continued circulation of current in the relay coil and diode. When rapid opening of the contacts is important, a resistor or reverse-biased Zener diode can be placed in series with the diode to help dissipate the coil ...

    These are equivalent to two SPDT switches or relays actuated by a single coil. Such a relay has eight terminals, including the coil; Form D – make before break [18] Form E – combination of D and B [18] The S (single) or D (double) designator for the pole count may be replaced with a number, indicating multiple contacts connected to a single ...

  5. Snubber - Wikipedia

    The coil diode clamp makes the relay turn off slower ( = /) and thus increases contact arc [clarification needed] if with a motor load which also needs a snubber. The diode clamp works well for coasting a uni-directional motor to a stop, but for bi-directional motors, a bipolar TVS is used.

  6. Talk:Diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Diode

    The magnetic coil of a relay is an inductor, so it is not possible to instantaneously interrupt the current in it. If you try to do so, using a switch or a transistor, the inductor will generate high voltages that can damage or destroy your switch. Placing a diode across the coil provides an alternative circuit to the current (until the ...

  7. Arc suppression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_suppression

    An electronic power contact arc suppressor attached in parallel across the contact of a relay or contactor (Fig. 1 of issued patent U.S. 8,619,395 B2) The circuit diagram is part of an issued patent for an electronic power contact arc suppressor intended to protect the contacts of electrical relays or contactors. It suppresses arcs by providing ...

  9. Solid-state relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.
