Teledyne Relays has announced the availability of four new reed relay product families, all offering extremely long life of up to 1 billion cycles, ideal for applications where high reliability is essential. The new product lines complement the already broad array of rugged switching solutions the company has been supplying for more than 60 years.
Reed relays offer a compact and lightweight solution for switching of AC or DC signals. Contacts are hermetically sealed inside a glass envelope which protects them from corrosion. Compared with other mechanical-based relays, reed relays offer low power consumption, low contact capacitance and faster switching speeds.
The new reed relay product families are optimized for different customer demands:
Michael Palakian, Teledyne Relays’ Global Director of Sales & Marketing said that Teledyne’s new products provide some of the fastest switching times, highest vibration resistance and widest operating temperature ranges available.
Applications for the new products include radar, telecommunications, automated test equipment, dielectric voltage testing/ Hi-Pot testing, ESD sensitivity testing, and power protection circuits.
Devices are available for ordering and shipment from Teledyne Relays or an authorized distributor.
