Manufacturers of switches and relays have faced several big challenges over the past few years. OEMs, particularly in higher-reliability markets, continue to look for greater flexibility and ...

When to use mechanical vs. solid-state devices. The parameters that should be considered when selecting a device. Optimize your selection for lowest cost/maximum ...

The reed relay was invented in 1936 by Bell Telephone Laboratories. Since that time, it has gradually evolved from very large, relatively crude parts to the small, ultra-reliable parts we have today.

Standex Electronics has created a reed relay that measures 7.95 x 4.67 x 3.6mm and can switch 100V, 200mA, 3W or 8GHz. 8GHz is the -3dB frequency, at which the switch offers -5dB isolation when open. ...
