ORD229 Series Reed Switch


The ORD229 Series is a high-power, general-purpose reed switch designed for robust performance in demanding electrical environments. 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 350 VDC, currents up to 0.7 A, and a rated power of 50 W.
Its hermetically sealed contacts ensure long-term reliability, while a wide operate range (20–60 AT) allows for flexible magnetic actuation. The ORD229 is ideal for automotive, industrial, and test and measurement applications requiring high voltage and current handling in a compact form factor.
