High Current Reed Relay Application/Selection Guide
In this article, we will discuss the use of opto-MOSFET relays in an active balancing circuit and compare it with a passive balancing circuit. We aim to provide insights for BMS manufacturers and EV manufacturers looking for miniature relays to use in their battery balancing circuit.
automatic test equipment (ATE)
Toward's high carry current reed relays are used in automatic test equipment (ATE) to switch high current signals for the testing of electronic components and systems. For example, in a semiconductor test system, high carry current reed relays can be used to switch the high current to the test object. Similarly, in a relay test system, high carry current reed relays can be used to switch the high current to the relay under test.
Industrial automation
High carry current reed relays can be used in industrial automation applications to switch high current signals, for example in process control and power distribution systems. In a process control system, high carry current reed relays can be used to switch the high current to the control device. In a power distribution system, high carry current reed relays can be used to switch the high current to different loads.
Automotive electronics
High carry current reed relays are used in automotive electronics for switching high current signals. For example, in a car audio system, high carry current reed relays can be used to switch the high current to the speakers. High carry current reed relays are also used in other automotive applications such as lighting systems and power window systems.
Aerospace and defense
High carry current reed relays are used in aerospace and defense applications for switching high current signals. For example, in a missile guidance system, high carry current reed relays can be used to switch the high current to the guidance system. Similarly, in a radar system, high carry current reed relays can be used to switch the high current to the radar antenna.
Telecommunications
High carry current reed relays are used in telecommunications equipment for switching high current signals. For example, in a telephone switch, high carry current reed relays can be used to switch the high current to the phone line. High carry current reed relays are also used in other telecommunications applications such as data communication systems and fiber optic networks.
