Relays & Optocouplers | Introduction

Reed relays use the reed switch as the heart of their switching mechanism. And as a result can switch billions of reliable operations (load dependent). Also they can switch up to 10,000 Volts and hold off up to 15,000 Volts. Furthermore, reed relays switch very low level signals as low as femtoamps and nanovolts. This is due to their environmentally or hermetically sealed contacts. Additionally they are very small and offer many unique switching abilities unlike semiconductor and electromechanical relays. These include stable low contact resistance <150 milli-ohms, low capacitance, high insulation resistance >10^14 Ohms, and carry currents up to 5 Amps continuous and 10 Amps pulsed. Reed relays operate in the 500 microsecond to 3 millisecond range and withstand shock up to 150G. We offer engineered relay solutions for a broad spectrum of product applications in all major markets. Check out our large assortment of package styles and pin-outs. Don't see what your looking for?

As a result, you can expect High Insulation Resistance of 10 TOhm across open contacts as well as between coil and contacts, and thus a very Low Leakage Current in the picoamperes range.

As well as any potentially flammable atmospheres. Standards for intrinsically safe components are presented in EN500200. The required air and creepage paths as well as the electric strength are defined in detail as follows: The peak voltage cannot exceed 375 Volts in order to meet accepted worldwide standards. The sum of the input and output voltages must not be higher than 375 Volts Peak. The coil input has a voltage of 24 Volts max. and the contacts produce 230 VRMS or 325 volts peak output. Input plus output = 24 + 325 = 349 Volts peak. Here the safety margin for the voltage for the input and output meet their peak voltage limit of 375 volts. The air path for isolation of this voltage is 6mm and the creepage path is 10mm. The isolation inside the component through potting compounds is 2mm. Another important value is the Comparative Tracking index (CTI) value of plastic. In this case, the value must be greater than 175.

Low thermal reed relays can switch low voltages in the low microsecond (µV) range. And reed relays switch these low voltages without altering the signal level. Even after it has passed through the relay. Low thermal relays are used in transducers. Transducers that produce very low voltage signals and need to be both switched and amplified. Moreover high end multimeters use low thermal reed relays. And switching thermocouples in data acquisition systems. Temperature measuring, data logging and measurement applications all use low offset voltage relays. The BT/BTS series are an excellent choice over semiconductor relays. Request assistance for your low thermal design with our reed relay experts.

Unique Characteristics

Our special feature reed relays offer unique characteristics such as low power consumption, latching, high insulation, and much more.
MRE Series Reed Relay

The MRE Reed Relay is a special series focused on High Voltage, High Current and High Insulation Resistance. This relay is capable of switching up to 1 kVDC, and, considering its compact size, it provides an extra high breakdown voltage of 7 kVDC (HV version) across the open contacts, or high carry current of 5 Amps (HC version).

This compact Dual-channel Dry-switch design uses two contacts in series or connected in parallel. Also, it features an integrated Magnetic Shield and high creepage distance pinout. As a result, you can expect High Insulation Resistance of 10 TOhm across open contacts as well as between coil and contacts, and thus a very Low Leakage Current in the picoamperes range.

Lastly, from reliable switching to long lifetime and Low Contact Resistance (ON-Resistance), the MRE relay series is ideally suited for ARC testers, precise testers, automated test equipment and medical equipment.

BE Reed Relay

Our most versatile general purpose BE Series Reed Relay with many contact configuration options including up to 5 form A switches. Available in latching or high IR typical 10^13 Ω. Plastic or metal housing, epoxy encapsulated.

Ultraminiature 8-pole low profile through hole mount (THT) RM05-8A-SP Series Reed Relay module with standard dual in-line (DIL) pin-out (2mm raster) and integrated magnetic shield for high density board mounting. Equipped with an 8-channel relay driver with MAX4823 with kickback protection and parallel activation electronics. Designed to significantly reduce PCB space at 24% smaller than our RM05-8A, saves on wiring costs, and assembly costs.

DIL Reed Relay

General purpose line sensing dual in-line DIL Series Reed Relay with coil up to 11.000 Ω. Supplied in an epoxy encapsulated package. Available with dielectric strength 4.25kVDC. Optional diode and magnetic shield. UL approval.

HI Reed Relay

High voltage/high insulation open-frame HI Series Reed Relay with high leakage distance. High Insulation Resistance (IR) >10^14 Ω.
