What is Bestact?

Q:What is Bestact?

A : Briefly, it is a hermetically sealed contact in a glass tube that can be used in circuits up to 240VAC or 240VDC. This means it remains entirely unaffected by external factors such as gas, dust, water and oil, and maintains extremely high reliability and function over a long period of time. We call it "Bestact", our abbreviation for Best Contact".

Q:How does Bestact open and close?

SolenoidCoil A : Just like conventional reed switches, a permanent magnet or solenoid coil is used.

Q:How different is it from conventional reedswitches in terms of performance?
