REED SWITCH PROTECTION
INDUCTIVE LOADS 2
C= I (uF)
When using reed switches for inductive loads 10
such as motors, relay coil, solenoids, etc., the R= E E
contacts will be subjected to high induced 10I(1+ 50 )
voltages during opening of the contacts (load
circuit). Such high induced voltages (transients)
may cause damage to the reed switch or
significantly reduce its life. H
Therefore, protective circuits such as: RC
(snubber), varistor or clamping diodes are
recommended. (see Fig. 4a, Fig. 4b, Fig. 4c) AC

CAPACITIVE LOADS
When using reed switches for capacitive loads Therefore, protective circuits such as: surge
such as capacitors, incandescent lamps or long suppressors or current limiting resistors are
cables, the contacts will be subjects to high surge recommended. (Fig. 5a, Fig. 5b)
