Description

Clare's Molded DYAD  dry reed switches are ideally suited for small switching signal applications. CM15 switch has sputtered ruthenium contacts and an extraordinary seal strength, achieved by a patented laser sealing of the glass. In low level or dry switching environments, both switches typically provide >1 billion operations. CM15 switches have hermetically sealed contacts and offer a wide range of available magnetic sensitivities. In addition, the molding process provides a solid plastic outer shell.  This plastic shell provides superior mechanical strength, eliminates concerns over handling glass switches, and provides an ideal solution for high speed, automated assembly environments."
