Micro-Fabricated Magnetic Reed Switch Sets Size And Performance Records

摘要

Conventional magnetic reed relays provide excellent low-power characteristics combined with a low level of electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitivity, reasonably good high-power switching capability, long switching lifetimes, high magnetic sensitivity, and low costs. But they're limited in how small they can be made. The RS-A-2515 RedRock switch from Coto Technology solves the size problem yet retains all of the high-performance properties of classical magnetic reed switches. It is the industry's smallest micro-fabricated magnetic reed switch with a footprint of less than 2.1 mm squared (1.01 by 2.08 mm) and a height of just 0.94 mm.
