Reliable Magnetic Switching for High Voltage Applications

The high voltage reed switch series delivers reliable magnetic switching for applications requiring elevated voltage and current handling. Capable of switching up to 10,000 VDC and with breakdown voltages reaching 15,000 VDC, these switches are engineered for high-performance environments such as photovoltaic systems, medical equipment, and automated test systems.

Available in glass body lengths starting at 14 mm, the series includes surface mount (SMD), through-hole, and free-standing options. These reed switches can carry continuous currents up to 15 Amps and pulsed currents up to 30 Amps, making them ideal for proximity, position, motion, and end-limit sensing.

For enhanced durability and simplified integration, these switches can be packaged as high voltage reed relays. Popular relay series such as H, HE, HM, KT, SHV, LI, and BE provide a range of contact configurations and insulation resistance exceeding 10¹³ Ohms, supporting both pick-and-place automation and high-voltage isolation.

High insulation resistance reed relays are designed for ultra-low leakage current performance, making them ideal for precision applications where signal integrity and isolation are critical. Engineered with specialized materials, extended creepage distances, and optimized internal geometry, these relays achieve insulation resistance levels up to 100 tera-ohms (TΩ) and in some cases, even 1,000 TΩ resulting in leakage currents in the picoampere range or lower.

These relays are available in configurations that support switching voltages up to 1,000 VDC and breakdown voltages up to 4,500 VDC, with custom options reaching 10,000 VDC switching and 15,000 VDC breakdown. Their high isolation and dielectric strength make them ideal for automated test equipment (ATE), semiconductor testing, and precision measurement systems where even the smallest leakage can impact results.

Compact, reliable, and built for demanding environments, High Insulation Resistance reed relays offer unmatched performance in high-voltage, low-leakage applications.

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.

Flange and screw mount position sensors offer a durable, fixed-installation solution for detecting position, proximity, or motion in demanding environments. Available with reed switch or Hall effect technology, these sensors are housed in rugged rectangular or cylindrical enclosures with integrated mounting flanges or screw holes for easy alignment and installation. They support a wide range of electrical configurations and are ideal for applications in automation, transportation, medical devices, and industrial equipment. Their robust design ensures long-term performance in high-vibration, high-temperature, or outdoor conditions.
