True Bypass Relay SMD

We don’t do much SMD (surface mounted) work here at Stompville. When it comes to the True Bypass Relay however, smaller may just be better, so we designed and built a surface-mount version to see how small we can realistically make it – and the answer is about 30% smaller. That is 30% smaller on… Read More »

They come with and without a push-button switch and (not-counting the switch) have three terminals, labelled A, B and C. We can connect the C terminal to +Vcc or… Read More »
