KSK-1A85 Series Reed Switch

The KSK-1A85 Series is a high-power, high-voltage reed switch designed for demanding applications requiring robust electrical performance and compact form factor. With a glass body length of 21.0 mm and diameter of 2.75 mm, this SPST-NO (Form A) switch supports switching voltages up to 1,000 VDC, currents up to 1.0 A, and a rated power of 100 W.

Its hermetically sealed vacuum design ensures long-term reliability in harsh environments, while the wide operate range (15–55 AT) allows for flexible magnetic actuation. The KSK-1A85 is UL-approved and widely used in automotive, industrial, and test equipment applications.
