RM-1318 Reduced-miniature Reed Switch
Form A, Center Contact, Release AT Configurable
All dimensions in mm
This reed switch is designed for applications where a size restriction is present, but higher load switching
and current carrying capability is required. The blades have a good flexibility, for fast operation and good
contact force, and can carry up to 1.5 A. The flattened leads are useful for orienting the internal blades to
face one way while soldering, welding etc., for maximum in-group sensitivity. The three differential ranges
available, cover a wide range of release specific applications. This reed switch is Lead (Pb) free and RoHS
compliant.
