Relays

Solid-State and Electromechanical Relay Products
ACCES I/O OFFERS A VARIETY OF RELAYS FOR DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS
Relay is the name for a switch that is operated electro-mechanically or electronically. Their main task is to make and break connections to control the flow of current in electrical circuits. They’re used for various purposes ranging from validating semiconductors to interfacing low power computers or microcontrollers with high power machinery.

There are two main types of relays. Electromechanical Relays use an inductor to mechanically operate the arm of the switch while Solid State Relays (SSR) have no moving parts but instead use the electrical and optical properties of semiconductors to perform their switching functions.

At ACCES I/O we use Field Effect Transistor (FET) switches for non-mechanical solutions as they have faster switching speeds and smaller form factors than traditional SSRs.
