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.

Electronic relays have evolved a lot since their introduction in the early '30s, but their basic purpose hasn't changed. Transistors and integrated circuits have replaced vacuum tubes and the term ...

A board enables wireless control, multi-channel switching, and isolation, supporting automation in homes and industrial ...

Targeting very high-density applications such as automated test equipment (ATE) switching matrices or multiplexers, the relay also performs well in mixed-signal environments. It maintains an ...

Inspired by input from panel builders, system integrators and end users around the world, Rockwell Automation engineers developed the new Allen-Bradley E300 electronic overload relay. The E300 ...

CLACTON-ON-SEA, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pickering Electronics, the global leader in high-performance reed relays, has introduced its most customizable range of high voltage reed relays to date, ...

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 ...

Pickering Electronics had added a single-in-line reed relay which can stand-off 5kV and switch 1.5kV to its Series 104. Inside is a single-pole normally-open contact (‘1 Form A’). Footprint is 6.22 x ...

Component manufacturers face increased demand for switches and relays that offer longer life cycles and smaller packages and can operate in harsh environments. Many of these new devices offer low ...
