Relays in safety-related control systems
There are no fewer than seven ways for even a simple transistor to fail. This means that monitoring all the electronic components that may be defective in a safe electronic switching output calls for considerable effort and the use of such things as a clocked fail-safe unit and microcontrollers (Figure 1).
Semiconductor hybrid SSRs distributed through New Yorker Electronics
New Yorker Electronics is now distributing the Vishay Semiconductor Hybrid Solid-State Relays (SSRs) in the VOR1121A6, VOR1121B6, VOR2121A8 and VOR2121B8 relay models.

Can AI help create safer lithium-ion batteries?
Scientists have spent decades searching for a safe alternative to the flammable liquid electrolytes used in lithium-ion batteries.Now Stanford University researchers have identified nearly two-dozen solid electrolytes that could someday replace the volatile liquids used in smartphones, laptops and other electronic devices. The results, based on techniques adapted from AI and machine learning, are published in the journal Energy & Environmenta...
Open solid state relay has highest current rating
IXYS Integrated Circuits Division announced the immediate availability of the CPC2907B, a dual, normally open (1-Form-A), 60 V, 2 Amp Solid State Relay (SSR) that comprises two independent, optically coupled, bidirectional MOSFET switches. The CPC2907B is the first dual power relay offered by IXYS ICD and features an ultra-low150 milliohm on-resistance. This dual power relay is the industry’s highest rated load-current device in a surface m...
