3660-12-72

Reed relays are one of the most widely used and reliable relays in the electronics industry. The 3660-12-72 model in particular is a high-performance, cost-effective relay that is capable of operating under a variety of conditions and applications.

The 3660-12-72 has a wide range of applications where its flexibility and reliability make it well suited. These include applications in measuring, monitoring, controlling, and switching of electrical circuits. Because it is a reed relay, it has a long life with no significant wear or tear. It also requires very little power to operate, making it ideal for low-voltage, low-current applications.

The 3660-12-72 is a single-pole, single-throw (SPST) reed relay. It works by using an electromagnet wound around a enclosure that contains two reeds made of soft steel or an alloy of iron and nickel. The electromagnet causes the two reeds to move together, separating the contacts and opening the circuit. When the current to the electromagnet is cut off, the two reeds come back together and the circuit is closed.

The 3660-12-72 is capable of switching up to 0.5A at 30V DC or AC. It has a contact resistance of less than 30mOhm and an insulation resistance of over 100MOhms at 500VDC. It has a ripple rating of 1mV RMS at 50/60 Hz and a response time of 30ms (on) and 10ms (off). The maximum total of life cycles is 2 million.

This reed relay is available in a wide range of packaging formats, from through hole to surface mount. It is also available with or without a diode for protection against voltage spikes. The 3660-12-72 is extremely reliable and is suitable for a variety of applications and uses.
