This standard applies to circuit board mounted relays thatutilize magnetically actuated dry reed switches to perform theswitching function. This document is intended to help standardizedry reed relay packaging, testing, and rating methods. If thisstandard is used properly, it should yield interchangeable relaypackages, correlative test methods, standard acceptance andrejection criteria, and relays with comparable switch ratings.Relays conforming to this standard are suitable for use inelectrical and electronic equipment where application is within thestated limits of operation.
Relays covered under this standard will generally use switchescovered under EL4 RS-421 “EINNARM Standard for Dry ReedSwitches.”
The testing methods provided in this standard are intended toprovide realistic, objective tests to define and determine thequality of a given relay.
Dry reed switches are used in many other relay formats.Provisions of this standard may or may not be useful for theseother packaged forms. A discussion with the supplier should be heldbefore a user attempts to utilize the various sections of thisstandard for relays in other formats. The standard should not beused on hybrid relays utilizing dry reed switches.
This standard does not apply to relays using mercury-wettedcontacts.
