Standex Detect reed relays use hermetically sealed reed switches as the core of their switching mechanism, delivering highly reliable performance across a wide range of applications. Capable of billions of operations, they can switch voltages up to 10,000 V and hold off up to 15,000 V, while also handling very low-level signals down to femtoamps and nanovolts. This versatility makes them ideal for applications requiring precision, stability, and long operating life.
Our reed relays offer unique advantages over semiconductor and electromechanical relays, including low contact resistance (<150 milliohms), low capacitance, and high insulation resistance (>10^14 ohms). They can carry up to 5 A continuous and 10 A pulsed, operate within a 500 µs to 3 ms switching range, and withstand mechanical shock up to 150 G. Compact and efficient, Standex Detect reed relays are available in a broad range of package styles and pin configurations, with both standard and custom solutions designed to meet the exact needs of your application.
