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 ...

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 ...

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.

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. ...

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 ...

CLACTON-ON-SEA, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading manufacturer of high performance reed relays, Pickering Electronics has increased the power ratings of four of its most popular relay series – ...

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 ...

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, ...

One of the biggest trends in the switch and relay markets is the call for more options to help designers select the best switching device for their application. Other big asks are for longer life, ...

Switches are seemingly simple and ubiquitous devices, but selecting one—whether a solid-state device, electromechanical relay, or reed relay—can present challenges to an engineer whose focus is on ...

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 ...

A reed switch gets its name from the use of two or three thin metal pieces, called reeds, with plated contacts at their tips and spaced a small distance apart. The reeds are typically encapsulated in ...
