Abstract
A relay switching device for switching high frequency signals has high reliability and stable insertion loss. The switching device has a housing with a base and a case. The case has a bore and the base has a slot. An electromagnet is mounted in the case. A reed holder has a pair of ends. One end of the reed holder is mounted in the bore adjacent the electromagnet. A pair of terminals are mounted in the base and extend into the slot. A guide member is mounted in the slot. A conductive reed is mounted to the other end of the reed holder. The reed is supported by the guide member and extends over the terminals. The electromagnet moves the reed between an open and closed position. The guide member prevents rotation of the reed as it moves between the open and closed positions.
Claims38
An electromagnetic switch device comprising:
- a) a base having at least one slot therein;
- b) a first terminal mounted in the base and extending into the slot;
- c) a second terminal mounted in the base and extending into the slot;
- d) at least one guide member mounted in the slot;
- e) an electrically conductive reed mounted in the guide member and extending along the slot, the reed movable between a first position in which the first and second terminals are electrically connected and a second position in which the first and second terminals are electrically disconnected;
- and
- f) an actuator, mounted adjacent to the base and coupled to the reed, the actuator operable to move the reed between the first and second positions, the guide member reducing wear of the reed as it moves.
An electromagnetic switching device comprising:
- a) a housing having a base and a case, the case having a bore and the base having a slot;
- b) at least one electromagnet mounted in the case;
- c) at least one reed holder having a first and second end, the first end mounted in the bore adjacent the electromagnet;
- d) a first and second terminal mounted in the base and extending into the slot;
- e) at least one guide member mounted in the slot;
- and
- f) an electrically conductive reed mounted to the second end of the reed holder, the reed supported by the guide member and extending over the terminals, the electromagnet being adapted to move the reed between a first position in which the first and second terminals are electrically connected and a second position in which the first and second terminals are electrically disconnected, the guide member preventing rotation of the reed as it moves between the first and second positions.
An electromagnetic switching device comprising:
- a) a housing having a base and a case, the case having a plurality of bores and the base having a plurality of slots;
- b) a plurality of electromagnets mounted in the case;
- c) a plurality of reed holders, each reed holder having a first and second end, the first end mounted in the bore adjacent the electromagnet;
- d) a common terminal extending through the base;
- e) a plurality of first terminals extending through the base around the common terminal;
- f) a plurality of guide members mounted in the slots;
- and
- g) a plurality of electrically conductive reeds mounted to the second end of the reed holder, the reed supported by the guide member and extending over the terminals, the electromagnet being adapted to move the reed between a closed position in which the first and second terminals are electrically connected by the reed and an open position in which the first and second terminals are electrically disconnected, the guide member being adapted to support the reed while allowing movement between the reed and the guide member.
