Enkonduko al SMD/SMT Reed Relays

Understanding the advantages of Surface Mount Technology in modern switching applications.

SMD/SMT Reed Relajsoj are a type of electronic component that utilizes a magnetic field to control the flow of electrical current. They are designed specifically for Surface Mount Technology (SMT) assembly, offering a compact and efficient solution for automated manufacturing.

Key Features

  • Miniatura grandeco: Ĉi tiuj relajsoj estas signife pli malgrandaj ol tradiciaj tratruaj relajsoj, igante ilin idealaj por spac-limigitaj dezajnoj.
  • Surfaca Munta Dezajno: Designed to be attached directly to the surface of a PCB, eliminating the need for through-hole drilling.
  • Alta Fidindeco: Hermetically sealed contacts offer excellent reliability and long service life suitable for critical applications.
  • Rapida Ŝanĝa Rapido: Capable of switching on and off very quickly (typical <0.5ms), suitable for high-frequency applications.
  • Malalta Kontakta Rezisto: Ensures efficient current flow with minimal signal loss.
  • Wide Temperature Range: Suitable for various environments, from automotive to industrial control.
