Reliable Break-Before-Make Switching with Form C Reed Technology

Changeover reed switches, also known as Form C or SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switches, feature three contact leads and operate with a break-before-make switching sequence. This means one contact disconnects before the other connects, ensuring clean signal transitions and reducing the risk of short circuits.

Changeover reed switches are ideal for applications requiring reliable switching between two circuits, such as signal routing, sensor feedback, and control logic.

These switches can be integrated into standard sensors and reed relay assemblies, and custom configurations are available to meet specific design requirements.

General purpose reed relays offer reliable and flexible switching solutions for a wide range of applications across industries such as automated test equipment (ATE), medical devices, industrial systems, and telecommunications. Built around high-quality reed switches capable of billions of operations (load dependent), these relays deliver consistent performance in both low and moderate power environments.

Available in multiple sizes and configurations, including single and multi-switch designs, these relays support SPST, SPDT, and latching contact forms. Popular models feature dual-in-line (DIL/DIP) pin-outs, low-profile options, and high insulation resistance versions up to 10¹³ ohms, making them suitable for compact PCB layouts and high-isolation requirements. Whether you need a single relay or a multi-channel solution, these relays provide dependable switching in versatile formats.

These sensors detect the presence or movement of a magnet, enabling precise position or proximity monitoring. Available in Reed or Hall effect versions, they are used in medical, industrial, and consumer devices.

Metal detection sensors identify the presence of steel or other ferrous materials. They are used in automation, safety, and machinery applications where reliable detection of metal components is essential.

Designed for applications requiring current handling above 1 amp, these relays offer low on-resistance and high thermal stability for power control and motor drive systems.
