ORD324 Series Reed Switch
The ORD324 Series is a miniature SPST-NO (Form A) reed switch designed for general-purpose switching in medium-load applications. With a glass body length of 14.0 mm and a diameter of 2.2 mm, it supports switching voltages up to 200 VDC and currents up to 0.5 A, with a rated power of 10 W.
Hermetically sealed in inert gas, the ORD324 ensures long-term contact reliability and consistent performance. Its compact form factor and robust electrical ratings make it one of the most widely used switches in industrial, consumer, and automotive applications.
