SMD/SMT Reed -releiden esittely

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

SMD/SMT Reed-releet 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

  • Miniatyyri koko: Nämä releet ovat huomattavasti pienempiä kuin perinteiset läpimenevät releet, joten ne ovat ihanteellisia ahtaissa malleissa.
  • Pinta-asennussuunnittelu: Designed to be attached directly to the surface of a PCB, eliminating the need for through-hole drilling.
  • Korkea luotettavuus: Hermetically sealed contacts offer excellent reliability and long service life suitable for critical applications.
  • Nopea vaihtonopeus: Capable of switching on and off very quickly (typical <0.5ms), suitable for high-frequency applications.
  • Matala kosketusvastus: Ensures efficient current flow with minimal signal loss.
  • Wide Temperature Range: Suitable for various environments, from automotive to industrial control.
