SLR405SD

Reed Relays have long been known for their compact size, highly reliable operation and long life. In addition to their flexibility and minimal power requirements, they have many features and benefits that make them suitable for a wide range of applications. One of the most popular and versatile reed relays is the SLR405SD, which is specifically designed for low-signal switching in a variety of environments. This article will explore the SLR405SD\'s application field and working principle.

The SLR405SD is a single-pole, double-throw reed relay. It has an input and output resistor for buffering AC/DC signals, as well as two sets of contacts for switching power and/or signal level applications. The relay can be used for either AC or DC operation, and it is designed to switch low DC voltages and currents up to a maximum of 30 V and 300 mA. The contacts are electrically isolated from the input and output resistors and have a low contact-resistance (less than 20 Ω) for high-temperature environments, thus ensuring a reliable switch operation.

The SLR405SD can be used for low-signal and logic switching in various areas. The most common applications include automotive, aviation, consumer electronics, medical instruments, and telecommunications. It is well-suited for use in switching automotive audio and video signals, such as audio/video systems, radios, CD players, and even power. In the aviation sector, it is used to switch headsets, headsets with built-in microphones, and other avionics devices. In consumer electronics, it is used for switching video cassette recorders, television sets, MP3 players, and even digital cameras.

The SLR405SD\'s working principle is simple. When a voltage is applied to the input pin, the magnetic field from the current attracts the relay contacts. This causes the electrical current to flow through the contacts, and the relay will then be activated, switching the output. The relay will remain in its activated state as long as a current is applied, or until it is manually disconnected. The low contact resistance ensures reliable operation and switching up to 30 V and 300 mA. The contacts are also designed for a high temperature rating of up to 85 °C.

The SLR405SD is an invaluable tool for low-level signal and logic switching, and it\'s available in a variety of form factors to suit different applications and environments. The reed relay is a reliable, long-lasting, and energy-efficient solution for any number of switching needs. Its low-signal operation makes it suitable for automotive, aviation, consumer electronics, medical instruments, and telecommunications applications, and its simple working principle ensures that it will provide reliable operation over its long life.
