Where are high-insulation reed relays used ?
High-insulation reed relays are often used for leakage current measurement. Here, the insulation of a circuit with respect to earth is determined. In doing so, the switching element for the measurement must not cause a leakage current itself under any circumstances. For this reason solid-state relays are considered unsuitable.
High-insulation reed relays are also used in measurement technology applications with high requirements for interference signal suppression. This type of relay has an insulation resistance of up to 1014Ω. This enables an extremely low leakage current of up to a few femto amperes, as well as a constant contact resistance. Optionally, we offer an electrostatic and a magnetic shield.
Special reed switches with very low contact resistance are used in these relays. Those have short switching times and a long service life. The hermetic encapsulation of the contact reeds in a glass tube protects them from environmental influences.
A magnetic shield prevents the influence of magnetic fields on the relay. A static shield guards the contacts from each other and from the coil. This also reduces the bouncing of the contacts.
Comparison: High-insulation reed relay to photo mosfet relay
The PhotoMOSFET relay is an electronic relay with galvanic isolation. It is controlled by a light-emitting diode in the input circuit. This generates an infrared light, which is converted into a voltage inside a solar cell array. The actual output circuit, consisting of one or two power MOSFETs, is switched via a trigger circuit.
The reed relay consists of a copper coil with an internal reed contact. Due to the hermetic encapsulation of the switching tongues in a glass body, the reed contact has an extremely high reliability and longevity.

Aufbau eines hochisolierten Relais
Das Reedrelais besteht aus einer Kupferspule mit einem speziellen Reedkontakte im Inneren. Ein magnetischer Schirm verhindert den Einfluss magnetischer Umfelder auf das Relais. Durch einen statischen Schirm werden die Kontakte untereinander und gegen die Spule abgeschirmt. Dadurch wird zusätzlich das Prellen der Kontakte vermindert.
Which variants are there ?
Technical data (varies according to type)
Switching power: 5 .. 50 W
Switching contact: Normally open
Switching voltage: 500 .. 7500 V
Number of switch contacts: 1 .. 4
Optional additional features of our relays:
Magnetic shielding
The shielding made of ferromagnetic material prevents the influence of magnetic interference fields on the relay.
Electrostatic shielding
Optimum shielding of the contacts from each other and from the coil is achieved by closed metal surfaces (copper tubes). They also reduce the bouncing of the contacts and thus the interference voltage caused by magnetostriction. The pick-up and drop-out delay of the eddy currents caused by this design have been reduced to a tolerable level by the special arrangement of the copper tubes.
