A tiny new MEMS-based reed switch may enable engineers to reduce the size of the electronic circuitry in devices ranging from ingestible endoscopes and hearing aids to insulin delivery systems and ...

Reed relays are electromechanical devices that operate using one or more reed switches. Reed relays are electromechanical relays that consist of a reed switch wrapped in a metal coil. They are ...

One of the oldest companies in the electronics industry, Coto Technology has been designing and developing small signal switching solutions for over 90 years. These days, the 93-year old company is a ...

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 ...

CHICAGO – Littelfuse Inc. in Chicago is introducing the 59177-series ultra-miniature overmolded reed switch for space-constrained high-speed switching applications. Applications include security and ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Conventional magnetic reed relays provide excellent low-power characteristics combined with a low level of electrostatic discharge (ESD ...

The two major types of magnetic sensing solutions – reed and Hall-effect – have been successfully switching and sensing across applications for years. This white paper breaks down the advantages of ...

We’ve all been there. Someone will say something like, “I remember when we had to put our programs on a floppy disk…” Then someone will interrupt: “Floppy disk? We would have killed for floppy disks.

Electromechanical relays are like dinosaurs who haven’t gotten the news that they are supposed to be extinct. Instead, they beget new generations, get designed into new applications, and even take ...

Some hacks just tickle the brain in a very particular way. They’re, for a change, not overly engineered; they’re just elegant, anachronistic, and full of mischief. That’s exactly what [Frans] pulls ...

Reed Switch life characteristics under different levels of capacitive loading. Life tests were run on four types of Coto Technology reed switches at four different, increasingly capacitive load levels ...
