Hello all,

Thanks to all (well, almost all ;) ) for the throrough explanations. I
also am glad to see that I am not the only one who thinks that I did
not overstep the bounds of this ng.


There are bounds?


relays are crude mechanical devices, get the voiltage approximately right and
they'll work after a few microseconds.

er, milliseconds.


The reason why I need a relay, is because I want to multiplex the power
supply of a DDR RAM ---they can sink up to 2A of current. Otherwise, I
would went with a simple cmos switch.

Expect nasty bounce and stuff. Electronic switching might be better.
