There are standard designations and symbols that describe how electrical contacts work in specific scenarios. These designations spell out the number of contacts and how they behave during operation.

Many transfer switches come with a piece of flexible metal conduit (FMC) to connect them to your main service panel, for all ...

The current-mode or peak-current-regulating switching converter is a familiar, almost dominant, power supply circuit consisting of few parts and is usually designed with “cookbook” procedures from PWM ...

Using eight digital inputs, this circuit simplifies decoding of the common membrane 4x4 keypad matrix and eliminates the traditional requirement of scanning rows or columns. Any X-Y switch matrix, ...

The ASUSTOR ASW205T is a basic unmanaged switch, capable of running at 2.5Gbps across five available ports. There's no management panel for fine-tuning settings, nor does it have any other more ...

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 ...
