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 ...

Reed relays are electromechanical devices that operate using one or more reed switches. Reed relays are electromechanical relays that consist of a reed switch wrapped in a metal coil. They are ...

A tiny new MEMS-based reed switch may enable engineers to reduce the size of the electronic circuitry in devices ranging from ingestible endoscopes and hearing aids to insulin delivery systems and ...

Reed relays contain a reed switch, a coil for creating a magnetic field, an optional diode for handling back EMF from the coil, and an encapsulating package with connection terminals. In many ways, a ...

When it comes to automotive applications, reed switch technology comes out ahead. This white paper provides an overview of the structural and safety reasons that make reed switches the ideal choice in ...

Applying most types of electronics in white-goods applications can be very challenging. From the operating temperatures seen in commercial ovens, to the need to address 100% humidity concerns in ...

CHICAGO – Littelfuse Inc. in Chicago is introducing the 59177-series ultra-miniature overmolded reed switch for space-constrained high-speed switching applications. Applications include security and ...

This white paper provides an overview of the features that make reed switches, sensors, and relays the ideal choice in renewable energy applications, from their extra-long life to zero power ...

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.

Littelfuse, Inc. announced the release of its newest products, the 59155 and 59156, which are the world’s smallest subminiature flange mount reed sensors. The sensors’ design provides compact size, ...

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 ...

Some hacks just tickle the brain in a very particular way. They’re, for a change, not overly engineered; they’re just elegant, anachronistic, and full of mischief. That’s exactly what [Frans] pulls ...
