What is a Reed Relay? from Pickering Electronics

Pickering Electronics explains what a Reed Relay is and how it is manufactured.
Reed Relays contain a reed switch, a coil for creating a magnetic field, an optional diode for handling back EMF from the coil, and an encapsulating package with connection terminals. In many ways, a reed relay, if used correctly, is a near perfect device with a low-resistance metallic switch path and inherent isolation between the control voltage operating the coil and the signal being switched.

Best Explanation About Reed Relay So Far

[@escrowdis]

This is really clear to see how a reed relay work. Thanks!

[@marlesus]

When you say "Pickering", you say "Quality"! I have worked with plenty of Pickering Cards in the past, they are just amazingly reliable and good!

[@vkh2412]

Very precise and impressive explanation then in any physical real world class 🤔

[@AnthonyFrancisJones]

Excellent. Thanks for making this.

[@moroniafrifa614]

That's a great explanation in a short time. Very concise, thanks!

[@grahamdale4651]

Thanks.

[@Mhnd.r18]

Thank you sooo much that helped a lot ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mixerD1-]

Thoroughly enjoyed the video...whats the music though???

[@landonivy675]

What is the release time of the fastest relay on the market?

[@jacekyle3131]

that was amazing

[@ganeshkumar-AK]

Nice

[@junaidasgher7630]

Goodness

[@ballsack4321]

Wow, fabulous explanation 😊

[@sarathchandran8188]

Which relay have low contact resistance? This one or normal one? And will this reed relay cause noise in the signal ?

[@pickeringreedrelay]

Our Series 109P has a typical contact resistance around 0.1 Ohm and the option of a coax screen to reduce signal noise. For a more detailed answer we would require a bit more information on your application, please feel free to get in contact with our technical support team via [e-mail].

Hi

[@sthangaprabu9560]

Good explanation... can you explain spdt Reed relay internal circuit?

[@grahamdale4651]

A SPDT reed switch, sometimes known as a Form C or changeover, is similar in construction, but with only one blade moving. Both the normally open and normally closed contacts are fixed, and usually both exit at the same end of the glass tube, the opposite end to the common moving switch blade. This normally closed contact is magnetically separated by a small non-ferrous spacer. The moving blade is mechanically biased towards this normally closed contact. When the coil is energised, the moving blade is deflected from the normally closed contact towards the normally open contact, completing the magnetic circuit.For a more detailed explanation with illustrations, please visit Pickering's web site and look at Page 9 of the Reed Relay Mate.www.pickeringrelay.com/relaymate-request/

[@garretamiller]

whats the opposite of this switch? One that will make contact without the magnet, then when the magnet is near will disconnect.

[@tonydanis1480]

These are almost as common as standard reed switches, and are available on EBay, etc., as well as the standard sources. Look for "NC" (normally closed) reed switches,as opposed to "NO" (normally open).

Good graphics but the text really needs some proofreading!

[@grahamdale4651]

Yes Lesley. Unfortunately our Graphics guy was not too good at spelling and it was missed. We did not want to re-submit it and ruin our viewing history.
