Built for automated test and instrumentation platforms, the relay can integrate vacuum sealed contacts and gold plated leads to support insulation and ...

Figure 1 A series diode protects systems from reverse polarity but wastes power in diode losses. Figure 2 You can use a bridge rectifier so that your system works no matter what the input polarity is.

Vishay has released two bi-directional symmetrical (BiSy) ESD protection diodes for 3.3V working in portable electronics – they come in a 0.6 x 0.3 x 0.27mm package. Maximum leakage is <0.1μA at 3.3V, ...
