Contents include:

• Reed relay basics
• Comparing reed relays with other relay technologies
• Packaging reed relays
• Manufacturing test of reed relays
• Choosing a reed relay
• Placing and driving a reed relay coil
• Loading reed relays
• Understanding specifications
• Relay terminology

This book is intended to be a practical book about reed relays aimed at engineers. It requires little or no theoretical knowledge about the materials they are constructed from, all the issues are dealt with in a practical manner.

With the information supplied in this book we hope users will better understand the efforts that go into designing what in principle is a simple component but which in practice is a complicated product full of engineering compromises and best value judgements.
