This circuit determines when an engine is running, and when running, it turns on a solid-state switch to automatically power accessories. It does this simply by measuring battery voltage—when not ...

A recent development in UL standards can save you space, time, and money. Like most things, manual motor controllers and disconnect switches have their advantages and disadvantages. Unlike disconnect ...

In troubleshooting situations involving a motor, more than half the battle is simply isolating the problem. Whenever there’s a working motor, there’s a load and there’s some sort of motor controller, ...

Infineon has revealed a 1.5mΩ protected load switch for 24V and 48V automotive systems. “With more than 1,000,000 switching cycles, the switches far exceed the average of conventional relays,” claimed ...

NK Technologies introduces the newly re-designed ASM Series Smart-Switch. These self-calibrating switches use the actual load current to set the trip point and provide the simplest way to ensure that ...

The ability to turn on loads in a controlled manner is important in applications where the power budget is limited. Hard switching a load can cause the input power rail to droop and result in a fault.
