RELAYS AND COMPONENTS TO ELEVATE THE PERFORMANCE OF ELECTRICAL PANELS Read more...

“Industrial relays” vary widely in application from motor controls, to lighting, to safety circuits. These relays tend to have common form factors the specifications throughout the relay industry, but special variations which cater to particular applications or environments are very common. Read more...

“Automotive relays” are standard relays used throughout the automotive industry for applications such as fuel pumps, seat and window motors, starter motors, alarms, and turn signals. These relays can be plug-in or PCB-mounted, and they are usually designed to work with 12 or 24V systems. Read more...

In environments with an elevated potential for explosions, equipment engineers must ensure every component protects against ignition risks — including relays. Some flammable refrigerants, for example, increase the potential for ignition and explosion risks when used with electrical devices.
The arcing that can occur when relays are operating is one source of ignition risk. Ind... Read more...

It’s been said that there is always room for improvement, no matter how good something is. For FCL Components, that “something” is the components it manufactures—including, but not limited to power (electromechanical) relays. The company actively works with its customers on developing or refining its components to suit their individual requirements. Case in... Read more...

FTR-E1/E1HC Automotive Relays Reach 1000VDC Without Hydrogen Gas Injection

Small, bi-directional, low-power coil consumption FTR-E1/FTR-E1-HC single-pole relays can reach 1000VDC without hermetic sealing. Great for pre-charge and rapid shutdown Read more...

The rise of electric cars and renewable energy sources such as wind generators and solar farms, as well as battery backup systems, AC motor variable speed drives, and industrial manufacturing equipment, are all feeding growing demand for inverters, according to a recent article in Control Automation.
Inverters are the modern way to turn direct current (DC) and turn it into alternat... Read more...
