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 …

TThis video provides a brief explanation of what hot and cold switching is when using reed relays and the effects different switching methods can have on relay life expectancy. One simple method to greatly reduce the damaging effects of hot switching, and greatly increase the expected number of operations, is to cold switch the signal. …
This short informative video explains the effects of temperature on a reed relay to ensure optimum performance while extending the operating range to meet harsher environments. In general, reed relays have an operating temperature range of -20° C to +85°C and this is adequate for most applications. However, in more specialized or demanding applications, it …
