- Function A reed relay uses a coil to actuate hermetically sealed reed contacts, providing galvanic isolation between the control and load circuits. - Key benefits Fast switching with minimal contact bounce for reliable high-speed signal changes Excellent coil-to-contact isolation Low coil power for efficient operation Long life and high reliability due to glass-encapsulated contacts Compact sub-miniature footprint suitable for dense assemblies Low contact resistance with stable, consistent performance - Compatibility and mounting Suitable for standard relay footprints on PCBs and compatible with signal-level control circuits Available in common configurations such as normally open and normally closed (model dependent) - Size and materials Sub-miniature glass-encapsulated reed contacts inside a compact coil assembly Glass encapsulation provides dust and humidity resistance - Performance and durability High insulation between coil and contacts reduces interference Quick actuation suitable for measurement and control tasks Electrical life and switching endurance depend on model specifications - Use scenarios Instrumentation and data acquisition systems to isolate measurement signals while routing them to the data path Laboratory test setups that require reliable, low-power signal switching in tight spaces Compact control interfaces and signal routing in equipment where galvanic isolation is important
