2653-12-310

Reed relays are electromechanical devices that use an electromagnetic coil to actuate a switch operated by a set of contacts in a sealed vacuum or a gas filled tube. They are used in a wide range of electronic devices from computers and communication equipment through to domestic and automotive applications. The 2653-12-310 is a reed relay that has been designed for use with voltage sources of 400 Volts or less. It features a 3.5A contact rating and has a low on-state resistance of 0.7 Ohms. This reed relay is capable of switching both AC and DC and is suitable for use in harsh environments where vibration and/or high temperatures are present.

The 2653-12-310 has a unique construction and operating principle. It employs a pair of hermetically sealed, flat contacts that are separated by a small gap. These contacts are made from nickel iron, a material commonly used in reed relays due to its high electrical and chemical stability. When the coil of the reed relay is energized, a powerful magnetic field is generated which causes the two flat contacts to move towards each other, thereby closing the gap and connecting the circuit. When the coil is de-energized, the contacts spring back to their original positions, opening the circuit. This is the basic principle behind the operation of a reed relay.

The 2653-12-310 is mainly used in the field of communications and industrial control systems. It is commonly used to switch signals and current in systems where high speed and reliability are essential. For example, the 2653-12-310 can be used in telephone exchanges, computers, and automatic assembly equipment. Moreover, its low voltage contact rating makes it suitable for use in high density signal connections.Reed relays offer several advantages over other types of relays. They are very compact and reliable, and they are capable of carrying high currents with minimal power consumption. They are also preferred for applications where electromagnetic interference is a concern due to their ability to create an air gap between the contacts. In addition, the high speed operation of reed relays makes them suitable for use in applications where delay times need to be kept to a minimum.

The 2653-12-310 is particularly well suited for use in applications where high speed and reliability are essential. Its low on-state resistance and high contact rating make it able to switch both AC and DC current with minimal power consumption. Moreover, its hermetically sealed design prevents the build-up of dust or other contaminants which could interfere with the operation of the relay. The combination of all these qualities makes the 2653-12-310 an ideal choice for a range of different applications.
