Reed RelaysReed relays are a type of electromagnetic switch that uses an electromagnet to actuate a pair of flexible metal reeds, which make or break an electrical connection. Reed relays are commonly used in circuits where high-speed switching or low-power control is required. They are often preferred over other types of relays because of their small size, low cost, and low power consumption. Reed relays can be used in a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, instrumentation, and automation. They are typically controlled by a small current applied to the electromagnet, which can be switched on and off using a simple control circuit.
