These miniature reed relays are available in single In-line (SIL) and dual-in-line (DIL) packages.
The relays offer:- Capable of switching speeds up to 1 kHz and billions of operations.
- Hermetically sealed switch contacts are unaffected by and have no effect on their external environment.
- Lower power coil consumption than competing electromechanical devices.
- Very low circuit board space requirement due to miniature DIL and SIL packages.
- No leakage in the off state, making them an ideal choice for battery-powered devices.
Reed relays provide a longer life, smaller size, higher switching speeds, and lower power consumption than electromechanical relay switches and are used for switching of loads with up to 2500 V isolation between the low-voltage control signal and load circuit.
Reed relays come in a hermitically sealed miniature package and offer full galvanic (zero leakage current) load disconnect that provides the high reliability needed in harsh environment applications to switch AC/DC signals and loads.
