Features
Description
• Small size
Clare’s DYAD® dry reed switches are ideally suited for
small switching signal applications. This switch has
sputtered ruthenium contacts and an extraordinary seal
strength, achieved by a patented laser sealing of the glass.
In low level or dry switching environments, both switches
typically provide >1 billion operations. The switches have
hermetically sealed contacts and offer a wide range of
available magnetic sensitivities.
• SMT-compatible
• Easily formed leads
• Sputtered ruthenium contacts
• Hermetically sealed contacts
• Fast switching speed — up to 500Hz
• Wide range of available magnetic sensitivities
Applications
• Security
• Proximity sensing
• Smoke alarms
• Automotive

Standard Test Coil
The magnetic force (expressed in NI, AT or Ampere Turns) required to cause the reed switch contacts to
close is called the pull-in or operate value.
