What is a Reed relay?

The reed relay, also known as a magnetic contact relay, is an electrical device that uses magnetic force to provide switching functionality. The relay operates by utilizing a magnetic field generated when a current flows through a coil, causing a reed switch (a small metallic strip) to open or close. Reed relays are known for being compact, fast-acting, and having a long lifespan, and are typically used in low-power circuits. Due to the lack of mechanical contacts, they are resistant to shock and vibration. They are widely used in electronic devices, automation systems, and measurement equipment.

Application of Reed relay

✅Sensor control
Reed relays are used to control the output of sensors, aiding in precise measurements and monitoring.
✅Automation systems
In robotics and automated equipment, reed relays are employed to transmit signals.
✅Measurement equipment
In measuring instruments, reed relays are used to rapidly switch low-voltage circuits on and off.
