MLRR-4 15.2mm Sub-miniature Close Differential Reed Switch
Description
The MLRR-4 Reed Switch is a sub-miniature, normally open switch with a
15.24mm long x 2.54mm diameter (0.600” x 0.100”) glass envelope, and capable
of switching 200Vdc at 20W with close differential (CD) characteristics. It has
high insulation resistance of 1010 ohms minimum and contact resistance less
than 100 milli-ohms.
It can handle lamp loads up to 2W @ 14V with no suppression
circuitry. This reed switch is also available in a surface mount version,
that is, MLSM-4.

Notes:
1. Contact rating - Product of the switching voltage and current should never exceed the wattage rating. Contact Littelfuse for additional load/life information.
2. When switching inductive and/or capacitive loads, the effects of transient voltages and/or currents should be considered. Refer to Application Notes AN108A and AN107 for details.
3. Electrical Load Life Expectancy - Contact Littelfuse with voltage, current values along with type of load.
4. Breakdown Voltage - per MIL-STD-202, Method 301.
5. Storage Temperature - Long time exposure at elevated temperature may degrade solderability of the leads.
