SIL05-1A72-71D

The SIL05-1A72-71D is a reed relay manufactured by Standex-Meder Electronics. Reed relays are electromagnetic switches that use a small electromagnet to control the opening and closing of one or more reed switches within a sealed glass tube.

Key Features:

• Reed Switch Technology: The SIL05-1A72-71D utilizes reed switch technology, consisting of thin ferromagnetic reeds sealed within a glass envelope. When a magnetic field is applied, the reeds make or break electrical connections.

• Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST) Configuration: This reed relay features a single set of contacts, allowing for one circuit to be opened or closed by the relay's operation.

• Normally Open Contact: The relay is normally open, meaning the contacts are open in the resting state and close when the coil is energized.

• Low Contact Resistance: The SIL05-1A72-71D offers low contact resistance when the contacts are closed, ensuring minimal voltage drop and power loss across the relay.

• High Insulation Resistance: With high insulation resistance between the contacts, the relay provides reliable isolation between the control circuit and the switched circuit.

• Compact Size: Packaged in a compact and lightweight form factor, the reed relay offers space-saving advantages and ease of integration into electronic assemblies and devices.

• Long Electrical Life: Reed relays typically have long electrical life spans due to the absence of mechanical wear in the contacts, ensuring reliable operation over extended periods.

Applications:

• Telecommunications: Used in telecommunication equipment for signal routing, switching, and line monitoring functions in telephone systems, data networks, and communication switches.

• Test and Measurement: Employed in test and measurement instruments for switching and routing test signals, data acquisition, and measurement applications in laboratories and industrial environments.

• Security Systems: Integrated into security systems for controlling alarm circuits, door and window sensors, and other security devices in residential and commercial security installations.

• Medical Devices: Utilized in medical equipment for patient monitoring, diagnostic testing, and therapeutic applications, where reliable signal switching is critical for patient safety and device performance.

• Industrial Automation: Incorporated into industrial automation systems for controlling actuators, valves, and other electromechanical devices in manufacturing, process control, and robotic applications.

• Automotive Electronics: Installed in automotive electronics for relay-based switching functions in vehicle control modules, safety systems, and onboard communication systems.

• Consumer Electronics: Used in various consumer electronics products such as appliances, audio/video equipment, and home automation devices for signal switching and control functions.
