A previous Design Idea outlined a relatively simple circuit in which a momentary pushbutton could be made to function like a latching, mechanical switch. The article generated a good deal of reader ...

This circuit allows an SPST momentary pushbutton to act as a push-on push-off switch, using a DPDT latching (bi-stable) relay. It was originally intended to allow a single pushbutton switch on the ...

For some of us, there are few sounds more satisfying than the deep resonant “thunk” of a high quality toggle switch slamming into position. There isn’t an overabundance of visceral experiences when ...

In this Idea for Design: the Soft-start capacitor's discharge can be used as a trigger for a latch circuit in order to provide latch-off fault response in switching supplies Most switching ...

The UltraVac solid dielectric vacuum switch from Maysteel is now available with either a low-current motor operator or a new positive-latching dual solenoid operator The UltraVac solid dielectric ...

The CBS ArcSafe RSA-12A is a custom-built remote switch actuator that remotely operates all styles of Westinghouse/Cutler-Hammer DS/DSL power circuit breakers. The ...

Electronic devices are built from many different parts. Understanding how these components work together is key to understanding electronics. Circuit diagrams use symbols to represent each component, ...
