Reed relays are electrical switches consisting of an armature-plated contact contained in a cylindrical, slender reed sealed in an airtight glass capsule or bottle. The reed is often made of copper, nickel, iron, or stainless steel which allows for a low density and low mass contact-making surface.

These devices are among the oldest and most common type of electrical switches. They have been used for decades in many applications ranging from automotive electronics to consumer electronics. They offer a high level of reliability, low power consumption, and efficient switching at low cost.

The basic principle of operation of a reed relay involves the action of a permanent magnet located inside the reed sealed in the glass capsule. The permanent magnet, when energized, creates an electromagnetic field that interacts with the reed, causing it to pivot around its longitudinal axis. This in turn causes the contact surfaces at either end of the reed to be pushed apart, breaking the circuit. When the current is turned off, the magnetic force relaxes, allowing the reed to pivot back to its original position, thus closing the circuit again.

Reed relays can be used in a wide range of applications and can be used in both AC and DC circuits. In applications such as measuring, amplifying, switching, sensor applications or controlling devices, they are often used to provide a low-cost, reliable solution. In automotive electronics, they are commonly used in ignition systems and airbags. In consumer electronics, reed relays are often used in data transmission, telecommunication, remote control, and for controlling the speed of motors. In addition, they are used in medical equipment, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) units, to reduce noise and provide an on/off switch.

Today, reed relays have become increasingly popular, due to their small form factor, low power demands, noise immunity, reliable operation, and ease of use. This makes them ideal for a variety of applications, including high-speed digital instrumentation, medical electronics, industrial automation, and navigational systems.

In conclusion, reed relays have been used in many different applications for a number of years. While there are other types of relays available, reed relays offer a number of advantages, such as high reliability, low power consumption, efficient switching and low cost. Therefore, they remain a popular choice for many applications.
