Electromechanical relays are like dinosaurs who haven’t gotten the news that they are supposed to be extinct. Instead, they beget new generations, get designed into new applications, and even take ...

With a 10GHz -3dB roll-off point two new reed relays, available from Rhopoint Components, offer an ideal way for switching low level RF signals, and high speed logic. The leadless relays employ a ...

The reed relay was invented in 1936 by Bell Telephone Laboratories. Since that time, it has gradually evolved from very large, relatively crude parts to the small, ultra-reliable parts we have today.

Reed relays contain a reed switch, a coil for creating a magnetic field, an optional diode for handling back EMF from the coil, and an encapsulating package with connection terminals. In many ways, a ...

Just about everywhere you go, there’s a reed switch nearby that’s quietly going about its work. Reed switches are so ubiquitous that you’re probably never more than a few feet away from one at any ...

Pickering’s smallest miniature SIP reed relay with a power rating up to 80 Watts offers alternative to mercury wetted reed relays or electromechanical relays Leading manufacturer of high performance ...

Littelfuse has expanded its reed relay product portfolio extending voltage capabilities to include AC ratings supporting AC or DC loads up to 300 Vdc, and providing input/output isolation voltage 2500 ...

Pickering Electronics of Essex has added a change-over version to its Series 67 of high voltage PCB relays. The 67 change-over relay is rated at up to 5kV stand-off and 2.5kV switching at 100W maximum ...

Pickering has introduced low-level switching variants of two of its series of high-voltage reed relays. Modifications of the 119 and 131 series, both Series 119L and 131L relay ranges have been ...

A tiny new MEMS-based reed switch may enable engineers to reduce the size of the electronic circuitry in devices ranging from ingestible endoscopes and hearing aids to insulin delivery systems and ...
