MDSR-7 12.7mm Sub-miniature Reed Switch
Description
The MDSR-7 Reed Switch is a sub-miniature, normally open switch with a
12.70mm long x 1.80mm diameter (0.5 00” x 0.071”) glass envelope, capable of
switching 200Vdc at 10W. It has high insulation resistance of 10¹² ohms
minimum and low contact resistance of less than 100 milli-ohms.
Features
• Sub-miniature normally open
switch
• Capable of switching 200V or 0.5A
at up to 10W
RoHS
• Available sensitivity range

Benefits
• Hermetically sealed switch
contacts are not affected by and
have no effect on their external
environment
• Low, stable contact resistance
• Zero operating power required
for contact
• Excellent for switching microcontroller logic level loads

Notes:
1. Contact rating - Product of the switching voltage and current should never exceed the wa ttage rating. Contact L ittelfuse for additional load/life information.
2. When switching inductive and/or c apacitive loads, the effects of transient volt ages and/or currents should be considered. Refer to Application Notes AN108A and AN107 for details.
3. Electrical Load Life Expect ancy - C ontact Lit telfuse with voltage, current values along with t ype of load.
4. Breakdown Voltage - per MIL-STD-202, Method 301.
5. Stor age Temperature - Long time exposure at elevated temp erature may degrade solderability of the leads.
