RI-46 Series Dry Reed Switch
RI-46 Series
Micro dry-reed switch hermetically sealed in a gas-filled glass enve-
lope. Single-pole, single-throw (SPST) type, having normally open
contacts, and containing two magnetically actuated reeds. The switch
is of the double-ended type and may be actuated by an electromag-
net, a permanent magnet or a combination of both.
The device is intended for use in relays, sensors, pulse counters or
similar devices.
