Both delay-on-make timers and delay-on-break timers are classified as time delay relay systems. In other words, these components are considered control relay devices with time delay functions built in. Though both mechanisms are not typically noticeable, we see them quite often in everyday life. When you step through a door and a fan overhead turns on, you’ve activated a delay-on-make. If you’ve adjusted a thermostat or air conditioning system, you have encountered a delay-on-break. Electronic parts manufacturers label both systems under the same umbrella because the processes of these electronic part types are essentially the same, but the results differ.
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are the foundation for everything electronic. As we move further into a technology-dependent society, everything is becoming digitized- which in turn increases the demand for PCBs. According to TechNavio, a leading market research company, the worldwide PCB is forecasted to grow at a rate of 6.14 percent from 2017-2021; TechNavio reports that NIPPON MEKTRON, Zhen Ding Tech, TTM Technologies, and Unimicron are key PCBs parts suppliers.
