Series Features
ORD228VL Series Reed Switch
Series DescriptionThe ORD228VL Series is a miniature, high-performance reed switch designed for general-purpose switching in compact electronic systems. With a glass body length of 14.0 mm and diameter of 2.2 mm, this SPST-NO (Form A) switch supports switching voltages up to 100 VDC/AC, currents up to 0.5 A, and a rated power of 10 W.
Its rhodium-plated contacts are hermetically sealed in a glass tube filled with inert gas, ensuring long-term reliability and resistance to environmental factors. The ORD228VL offers fast response times, low contact resistance, and high insulation resistance, making it ideal for precision applications across automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics.
- Miniature form factor ideal for space-constrained designs
- Rhodium-plated contacts for superior corrosion and wear resistance
- Hermetically sealed in inert gas for enhanced reliability and environmental protection
- Can switch ultra-low signals down to 10 nanovolts and 1 femtoamp without signal loss
- Fast switching performance with operate times under 0.4 ms
- Shock and vibration resistant, suitable for rugged environments
- Consumes no power in the open position, supporting energy-efficient designs
