Reed relays, also known as “enclosed relays”, are small electromechanical relays typically used in low voltage and low current applications. They are designed to handle voltage levels up to 5V and current levels up to 1A. 7102-24-1100 reed relays are a type of enclosed relays. They are widely used in industrial control systems for applications such as safety switches, limit switches, and proximity sensing.

The 7102-24-1100 reed relay is a gas-filled, SPDT (single-pole double-throw) switch. It is a sputtered reed switch, which features a metal case, contact springs, and a noble gas such as argon in a sealed chamber. The contact springs act as the input/output (I/O) legs. A bifurcated contact spring referred to as the “armature” is positioned above the contact springs and the noble gas prevents corrosion of the contacts.

When power is applied to the two input contacts, the bifurcated armature and the noble gas cause a passing current to flow from one I/O contact to the other I/O contact. This effectively changes the state of the relay from one state (off) to the other (on). If the power is removed, the armature and the noble gas reset the relay to the off state.

The 7102-24-1100 relay is designed to be a low-cost, fail-safe option for applications requiring a reliable switching connection. It can be used in a variety of applications such as automotive circuit breakers, TV remote receivers, industrial air valves, HVAC systems, emergency lighting, and industrial equipment monitoring systems.

In conclusion, the 7102-24-1100 reed relay is a reliable, cost-effective switching solution for many industrial and commercial applications. It features a rugged metal case and a bifurcated contact spring to provide reliable, fail-safe switching performance. Its SPDT design allows it to be used for both on/off duty cycles and high-current loads. Its low power consumption and small size make it ideal for use in cramped spaces. In short, it is a great choice for low-voltage, low-current applications requiring reliable switching.
