Why Reed Relays & Sensors

To meet the current electronic manufacturing trends, surface mountable reed relays and reed sensors offer a long list of exceptional features when designed and packaged for surface mounting. Their adaptable designs, rugged packaging and capability of switching into the billions of operations make them an ideal design-in against other switching technologies.

Reed Relay Solutions Infographic

Standex Electronics uses the PARTNER – SOLVE – DELIVER approach to provide custom engineered solutions using reliable, hermetically sealed reed switch technology. Our versatile engineering expertise in magnetic switching and custom packaging allows us to be a one-stop-shop for your reed relay requirements.

Photovoltaic Systems

Reed relays designed by Standex Electronics meet the inverter requirements of photovoltaic systems perfectly. Despite its small size, the relay has an isolation resistance of up to >10G Ohm. Reed relays only need energy during the switching process, which has a positive influence on the overall efficiency of the inverter. Because of the high number of switching cycles (>109), the reed relay is suitable for long life applications.
