RM05-8A-SP Series Reed Relay

The RM05-8A-SP Series is an ultraminiature, low-profile reed relay module designed for high-density PCB applications where space, performance, and integration matter. Featuring an 8-pole SPST-NO (Form A) configuration and a standard dual in-line (DIL) pin-out with 2 mm raster, this module is engineered to reduce PCB space by 24% compared to the RM05-8A, while also lowering wiring and assembly costs.

Equipped with an integrated magnetic shield, diode protection, and an 8-channel relay driver (MAX4823) with kickback protection and parallel activation electronics, the RM05-8A-SP Series delivers reliable switching performance in compact test and measurement environments.
