Miniature reed switches

18 September 2013 Switches, Relays & Keypads

New from Standex-Meder Electronics is the GR400 Series miniature reed switch. This 10 mm reed switch provides a low-cost solution for a wide range of applications, including counting, end limit detection, low-power devices, movement or position detection, and presence, proximity, rotation or speed sensing. These applications span industries including aerospace, automotive, HVAC, test and measurement, security and more.

The GR400 offers 0 to 10 W of rated power, a switching voltage of 0 to 180 V d.c./a.c., a maximum switching current of 0,5 A, and a maximum carry current of 0,8 A. It is available in an operating sensitivity of 7 - 30 Ampere-turns and operating temperature range of -40°C – 125°C. The breakdown voltage across the dynamically tested contacts is 230 V d.c. with a maximum contact resistance of 150 mΩ.

The reed switches are tested to ensure a long life, capable of tens of millions of trouble-free switching cycles. With no power consumption and zero emissions, it is also RoHS compliant, UL recognised and REACH compliant. The GR400 is available in a contact form 1 A (SPST, normally open contact), centre gap.
