This white paper describes Coto's reliability testing of its Coto Classic reed relay and molded reed switches. For many switching applications reed relays remain the best solution, particularly when ...

One of the oldest companies in the electronics industry, Coto Technology has been designing and developing small signal switching solutions for over 90 years. These days, the 93-year old company is a ...

Just about everywhere you go, there’s a reed switch nearby that’s quietly going about its work. Reed switches are so ubiquitous that you’re probably never more than a few feet away from one at any ...

The reed relay was invented in 1936 by Bell Telephone Laboratories. Since that time, it has gradually evolved from very large, relatively crude parts to the small, ultra-reliable parts we have today.

Reed relays contain a reed switch, a coil for creating a magnetic field, an optional diode for handling back EMF from the coil, and an encapsulating package with connection terminals. In many ways, a ...

The ubiquitous magnetic reed switch has a unique set of properties, including tera-ohm isolation when OFF, milliohm resistance when ON, zero power operation, around one watt hot switching capability, ...
