Standex Electronics, a supplier of custom-engineered electromagnetic components, has announced that its high-voltage reed relays now meet new peak high-voltage testing standards.

Standex does not perform high-voltage testing services, but its advanced relay technology supports applications that require compliance with the latest high-voltage testing benchmarks.

Standex’s high-voltage reed relays are engineered with hermetically sealed rhodium or tungsten contacts, offering reliable and long-life operation. Switching times are below 1 millisecond and breakdown/stand-off voltage levels up to 15 kVDC. These features make them well-suited to use in automated test equipment (ATE), medical devices, electric vehicles and alternative energy systems.

Designed for environments requiring low leakage currents and high insulation resistance, the relays deliver above 10 TOhm insulation resistance and low contact resistance in the range of tens of milliohms. They are suitable for ARC testers, battery management systems, pre-charge circuits or electrosurgical generators.
