Product catalog summary
Overview of Reed Relays:
Reed Relays are known for their reliable switching operations and long lifespan. They are particularly suitable for switching small signals, high voltages, and applications requiring longevity due to their hermetically sealed switch contacts and carefully applied contact layers. Unlike electromechanical relays, Reed Relays do not suffer from polymeric contact deposits, making them ideal for low signal applications where semiconductor solutions fall short due to high capacitance and leakage current.

Applications:
Reed Relays are versatile and can be used in environments involving water, air, vacuum, oil, petrol, and dust. They are applicable in markets such as telecommunications, test and measurement, medical equipment, industry, household, security, alternative energy, photovoltaic, and automotive.

Advantages of Reed Relays:
  • Hermetically sealed, unaffected by dust or corrosion
  • Reliable in heavy-duty or explosive environments
  • Long operational life (billions of operations)
  • Multi-pole configurations up to 8 switches
  • Low contact resistance and high insulation resistance
  • Capability to switch up to 10,000 volts and carry currents up to 5 amps
  • Ability to switch very low signals and high-frequency signals up to 7 GHz

Advantages of Standex Electronics:
  • World's largest Reed Switch manufacturer

Application Alley Reed Relays Reed Relays are characterised by reliable switching operations and a long life-time. Due to its hermetically sealed switch contacts and an extremely carefully applied contact layer Reed Relays are particularly suitable for switching small signals as los as femtoAmps and nanoVolts as well as at high voltages and for app lications required a long lifetime. Electromechanical Relays are less suitable for some of these applications as they have a tendency to polymeric contact deposits, which must be cleaned by forming small arcs during switching. This requires the application...
