7304-12-1011

Reed relays are electromechanical switches which are used for electronic switching applications. These switches are generally used in remote controlled systems, including electrical systems such as industrial and consumer appliances. The 7304-12-1011 is a reed relay produced by ABB Automation, and is a single pole double throw switch. This reed relay has a contact load range of 12V and 0.5A.

Working Principle

Reed relays operate on the principle of electro-magnetic induction. They are a type of switch which uses an electric current to generate a magnetic field which is then used to activate the switching arm. The switch arm can either be pulled or pushed when the electric current energizes the magnetic field, allowing the contacts on the switch to be opened or closed. This type of switching is most commonly used when two devices must be connected or disconnected in order for the desired action to be carried out.

Application Field

The 7304-12-1011 is typically used in industrial process control applications, where it can be used to switch large currents or voltages without having to open or close a manual switch. In addition, this reed relay can also be used in consumer applications such as car alarms, home audio systems, and security systems. It can be used to control the power supply of whichever device it is connected to or can be used to sound an alarm or warning in the event of an emergency. Other applications include controlling motor speed regulators, sequencing various electrical components, and switching on and off electrical appliances such as lights, fans, and other equipment. This type of reed relay is also found in various telecommunications systems, such as telephone switching systems.

The 7304-12-1011 reed relay is an extremely versatile switch which can be utilized in countless applications. With its compact design, low power consumption, and reliable operation, this reed relay is a reliable and cost-effective solution for many different projects.
