Custom reed relay with two reed switches connected in series | Case study

Supports everything from signal detection to output control. We will introduce case studies.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "lead relays" at a major electrical testing equipment manufacturer. The company required a compact relay with extremely high voltage resistance for evaluating the insulation characteristics of electrical components. It was necessary to implement a one-minute dielectric withstand voltage of AC 5 kV (peak 7 kV) in a 30 mm long package while maintaining performance and operability. In response, Standex Detect successfully developed a custom lead relay that internally connects two reed switches in series. 【Challenges】 ■ Relay design that meets electrical characteristics exceeding the specifications of the tested components ■ Miniaturization for integration into semiconductor automatic test equipment (ATE) with space constraints ■ Ensuring testing accuracy by preventing partial discharge 【Results】 ■ Realization of a unique solution that meets performance and size requirements ■ High precision in partial discharge testing under high voltage conditions ■ Avoidance of surface distance issues on PCBs through internal series connection of the relay, simplifying OEM implementation ■ Demonstrated problem-solving capabilities through close technical collaboration and high development flexibility For more details, please check the PDF by downloading it from the link below or feel free to contact us.
