HE3321C0500

Reed relays are a type of electrical switch that uses an electromagnet to actuate an internal set of contacts. As its name implies, a reed relay is composed of a reed switch and an electromagnet. The internal contacts are contained within a hermetically-sealed glass envelope, which is then filled with an inert gas. When an electric current is applied to the electromagnet, it creates a magnetic field that closes the hermetically-sealed contacts.

The HE3321C0500 reed relay is designed for high-speed operations and boasts an impressive switching time of 0.8 ms. It is a single-pole single-throw (SPST) relay and operates on a voltage of 5V DC with a maximum contact current rating of 0.2A. It has a coil resistance of 250 ohms and an isolation voltage rating of 5000V DC between coil and contact.

The HE3321C0500 reed relay is typically used in communications, automation, security, medical, energy and other data-critical applications. Its fast switching time and reliable self-latching make it ideal for switching data signals, and its extended temperature range, robust construction and resistance to vibration makes it suitable for use in outdoor and industrial environments. The HE3321C0500 also features a long service life and low power consumption, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring a low-cost and low-maintenance solution.

The working principle behind the HE3321C0500 reed relay is relatively simple. When the electric current is applied to the coil, it creates a magnetic field which attracts the reed switch\'s contacts. This closes the circuit, allowing electricity to flow between the contacts. When the current is removed from the coil, the magnetic field dissipates and the contacts open again, breaking the circuit and preventing electricity from flowing.

The HE3321C0500 reed relay is a versatile, cost-effective, and reliable solution for applications requiring fast switching times and low power consumption. Its fast response and robust construction make it well-suited for applications in environments where shock, vibration, or extreme temperatures may be present. With its small size, long service life, and low power consumption, the HE3321C0500 reed relay is an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications.
