In summary, Standex Electronics’ Reed relays represent excellent RF switching components both for continuous wave RF and Digital RF pulses. The Reed relay RF design is most dependent on its geometric and the material makeup. Careful design and material selection is critical. Designers using the RF reed relays must match the impedance entering and exiting the relay. Maintaining a pure 50 Ω impedance on the PCB, through the reed relay, and back onto the PCB is critical to maintain the RF path.
