Low thermal reed relays are designed to switch microvolt-level signals without introducing thermal offsets or signal distortion. Ideal for use in transducers, high-end multimeters, thermocouple switching, and data acquisition systems, these relays ensure accurate signal integrity in temperature measurement and logging applications. Their low offset voltage performance makes them a superior alternative to semiconductor relays in precision environments.
High density matrix reed relays are designed for ultra-compact, high-channel-count applications where space efficiency and performance are critical. With footprints as small as 4.35 × 4.35 mm, these relays enable dense relay arrays, up to 1000 relays on a 12” board, ideal for IC wafer testing, functional PCB test systems, and data acquisition platforms. Featuring low power consumption, fast switching speeds, and optional shielding configurations, they offer reliable performance in demanding environments. Their modular design supports vertical and horizontal stacking, making them a versatile solution for high-density signal routing and matrix switching.
- The DF241 is characterized as a Small Low Angle Dark Field ring light.
- Precisely aimed LEDs provide a very low angle of incidence, radial illumination pattern.
- A scratch on a sheet of glass is a good example of a defect that can be detected with a low-angle dark field illuminator.
- With a light intensity of 24kLux at a working distance of ½” (12.5mm), the DF241 is perfect for imaging problems limited to a small field of view.
- A 25mm field of view is standard with an optional field of view of 35mm.
- Available in a range of wavelengths from UV to IR.
*Engineered to provide comparable optical characteristics to our previous RL1360.
