More Product Information
The latching / bi-stable (1 Form E) reed switch is a magnetically operated switch designed for ultra-low power applications, particularly in battery-powered and energy-sensitive systems. Unlike traditional reed switches, this bistable variant maintains its contact state, either open or closed, without continuous power, thanks to its dual-magnet latching mechanism.
The switch operates by using two permanent magnets: one partially magnetized to bring the contacts near each other, and a second magnet that controls the contact state by reversing its magnetic field. This design allows the switch to remain in either the normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.) state until actively changed, making it ideal for applications requiring stable switching with minimal energy consumption.
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.
