SM-1322 Sub Miniature Reed Switch
This Form A type SM-1322 Sub Miniature Reed Switch is built with a 2.25 mm diameter glass with a higher wall thickness for better glass to metal seals, and is a good solution for general purpose, high volume applications with a little shock and vibration, such as toys. The center contact also makes it suitable for coil applications. The three Release AT ranges available cover a wide range of Release AT specific applications. A specially Sputtered contact for 230 VAC line voltage switching is also available. The cropped version of the SM-1322 Sub Miniature Reed Switch is suitable for smaller plastic housings and can be soldered to cables, the SMD version is suitable for re-flow on PCB, and the vertical and horizontal mount versions are suitable for mounting on through hole PCB.
Features
Release AT Configurable. Ruthenium contact. 14.0 mm Glass length. Normally Open. Inert gas filled. 4 types of Lead Formations.
Benefits
Omni-polar. Does not require power for operation. Sputtered Contact. RoHS Compliant. Not ESD Sensitive.
