ORD613 Series Reed Switch

The ORD613 Series is an ultra-miniature SPST-NO (Form A) reed switch designed for precise control of low-level loads in compact electronic systems. With a glass body length of just 7.0 mm and a diameter of 1.8 mm, it is one of the smallest and most widely used switches in its class.

Engineered for precision, the ORD613 features a narrow hysteresis, meaning a close differential between open and closure values, making it ideal for applications requiring accurate switching points. Its hermetically sealed contacts are enclosed in inert gas, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent performance in low-voltage environments.
