Hybrid relays combine a mechanical switch with a solid-state switch, and they are set up in parallel to control a single load.

Last week, I waxed rhapsodic about why we wrench (the joy of solving problems, making choices, doing things our own way, controlling our world), and mentioned a few wiring-related things as examples.

Part 1 covered the basics, Part 2 explored the reed relay and its use in ATE applications, while this final section looks at MEMS-based relays and their function in ATE applications.
