Features Description

• Small size

• SMT-compatible

• Easily formed leads

• Sputtered ruthenium contacts

• Hermetically sealed contacts

• Fast switching speed — up to 500Hz

• Wide range of available magnetic sensitivities

• Superior mechanical strength

• Enhanced for better auto placement

Clare’s Molded DYAD
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. In addition, the molding
process provides a solid plastic outer shell. This plastic
shell provides superior mechanical strength, eliminates

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.

Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress ratings. Stresses
in excess of these ratings can cause permanent damage
to the device. Functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the
operational sections of this data sheet is not implied.
Exposure of the device to the absolute maximum ratings
for extended period may degrade the device and effect
its reliability.
