Reed Relays

Reed relays consist of a reed switch and coil fitted into a house, which could be plastic, metal or moulded. Compared with electro-mechanical relays, reed relays generally have a faster response time, lower coil consumption and are smaller in size. Furthermore, the switch is sealed in a dry, inert atmosphere preventing the ingress of contaminants. Operation High voltage Relays have outstanding performance in insulation and stand-off voltage. Energizing the coil operates a reed switch causing the contacts to open or close. It is important that the switch is not overloaded by applying loads in excess of the switch ratings
