Recommended Reed Relays for High Density Applications

Series 120 – 4mm2 x 15.5mm up to 1 A, 20 W

Highest packing density reed relays currently available. 1 Form A (SPST N.O) relays with 3, 5 or 12 V coils. Ideal for A.T.E. switching matrices or multiplexers.

Requiring a board area of only 4mm x 4mm, these relays allow the highest packing density currently available. Two switch types are available, a general purpose sputtered ruthenium switch rated at 15 Watts, 1 Amp (3V) or 20 Watts, 1 Amp (5 & 12 V) and a low level sputtered ruthenium switch rated at 10 Watts, 0.5 Amps.

Series 115 – Mini-V-SIL up to 1 A, 20 W

1 Form A (SPST) or 2 Form A (DPST) N.O. relays – SPST stacks on 0.15 ” x 0.27 ” pitch. 3, 5 or 12 V coils. Featuring sputtered ruthenium contacts for long life and high reliability.

Two switch types available – switch type 1 is better suited for general purpose applications. It has a layer of copper beneath the ruthenium to help dissipate the heat from the contact area. This gives an improved current inrush handling ability. Switch type number 2 should be chosen for low level or ‘cold’ switching applications.
