Bestact ™Heavv-dutv Reed Switches
Highly Reliable Contact Employing New Materials and Innovative Designs such as wiping and Hammering Action,
Bifurcated contact and Back-stop Mechanism
■ FEATURES
1 Sealed with an inert gas, ensuring freedom from aging and influences exerted by external environment.
2 The bifurcated contact and "wiping action" assures outstanding contact reliability, probability of failure
is extremely low.
3 Quick action permits a larger make and break capacity and longer service life.
4 Can switch both AC and DC, permitting direct control over a wide range from low level load to
electromagnetic power load.
5 Near surge-less switching of inductive load.
Medium-capacity type: 24V 1mA to 240VAC 0.5A
(5A making)
Contact Ratings: C300 (AC) and Q150 (DC)
180VA & 69VA respectively
Large-capacity type: 24V 1mA to 240VAC 1A
(1 OA making) 230VDC 40W (Solenoid valve)
Contact Ratings: C600, B300 (AC), Q300 (DC),
360VA & 69VA respectively
■ CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATING MECHANISM
Conventional reed switches are constructed simply. The contact for switching current also serves to switch the magnetic
circuit. Bestact uses a separate magnetic member and contact unit (current carrying arcing section), each using different
materials and design optimized for their functions.
