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.

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 ...

Pickering has created a high voltage reed relay, that can stand off 1.5kV and switch up to 1kV. Called Series 131, they are single pole (normally-open) single-in-like devices with a 12.5 x 3.7mm ...

The reed relay consists of a switch with magnetic contacts that move under the influence of an external magnetic or the induced field from its solenoid. They have faster switching speed compared to ...

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 ...

Regular magnets are an irreplaceable solution in many applications in the field of electromechanics. They are used in simple automation (door closing sensors), as well as in more elaborate systems, ...

CLACTON-ON-SEA, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pickering Electronics, the global leader in high-performance reed relays, has introduced its most customizable range of high voltage reed relays to date, ...

Standex Electronics has created a reed relay that measures 7.95 x 4.67 x 3.6mm and can switch 100V, 200mA, 3W or 8GHz. 8GHz is the -3dB frequency, at which the switch offers -5dB isolation when open. ...

If used correctly, a reed relay is a superbly reliable device. The switch contacts are hermetically sealed, so they don’t suffer from oxidization or contamination in the same way as an open ...

One of the oldest companies in the electronics industry, Coto Technology has been designing and developing small signal switching solutions for over 90 years. These days, the 93-year old company is a ...
