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.

Switches are seemingly simple and ubiquitous devices, but selecting one—whether a solid-state device, electromechanical relay, or reed relay—can present challenges to an engineer whose focus is on ...

Electromechanical relays are like dinosaurs who haven’t gotten the news that they are supposed to be extinct. Instead, they beget new generations, get designed into new applications, and even take ...

Manufacturers of switches and relays have faced several big challenges over the past few years. OEMs, particularly in higher-reliability markets, continue to look for greater flexibility and ...
