Product Description
Standex-Meder Electronics RM05-4AS-4/4 Reed Relay – 4-Pole, Low Profile, High-Frequency Switching
This used Standex-Meder Electronics RM05-4AS-4/4 is a high-performance reed relay featuring four independent SPST-NO (1 Form A) switches in a single surface-mount package . It is designed for automated test equipment (ATE), high-frequency applications, and precision instrumentation where fast, reliable switching is required.
The relay features a 5VDC coil with a resistance of 185 Ohms, drawing 27mA . Key specifications include a contact rating of 300mA, switching voltage up to 180VAC/DC, and extremely fast operate/release times of 0.6ms and 0.05ms respectively . The BGA termination style ensures secure surface mounting.
This product is listed as Obsolete by the manufacturer and is no longer in active production . It is sold as a used component.
Condition Note: This unit is untested and sold as-is. Handling precautions for static-sensitive components should be observed.
