That was great, what I would really appreciate is for someone to make a video going through 4-8 relays, where they have the relay in hand and then they show the exact same thing on digikey/mouser and go to the schematic, run down all the items in the absolute max/ normal operating data for the first one, and then just explain the differences and what they are all typically used for (ie Vswitch and Vload + in what application) and what you could safely get away with.

The first 3 months when i was starting at electronics i didn't understand a word you say in your videos, now when i watch your videos again it all makes a lot more sence. Your videos are great for people who already know how those things work and need more detailed explanation to truly master the use of it

This was a wonderful video! I loved how you very simply explained the pros and cons of using Relays vs MOSFETs vs Triacs for switching loads. That was the best explanation I've seen so far. Thank you very much for creating and sharing this quality content.

I fired 10 NPN transistors before I found your video on how back induction happens in the coil of a relay. Thanks.
