Which reed relay??

Post by HiGain »

I've done a search, trying to learn how to use the relays.

But, I don't know which ones are the ones commonly and successfully used here.

Here's a link to mouser,

Please advise as to which one or ones to get.

Thanks.

a Magnecraft W117SIP-6 is a NORMALLY OPEN spst switch, GREAT for MID BOOST quiet, small, and has INTERNAL DIODE for coil! A W117SIP-18 is a NORMALLY CLOSED spst switch,( has diode as well) great for a PAB opening UP the ground on the mid pot, these relays are small, quiet, and i givem a TEN!! For SWITCHING or the HRM PAB a NTE R40-11D2-5 ( 5 volt or 12 volt) is AWESOME!! You can use a 16 pin carrier and build a board, or do as i do and just double tape them to the deck..small, quiet, and low current... i use a xicon 6.3 volt 1a tranny and a bridge w/voltage doubler hitting a 5v voltage regulator, it`s the best i`ve ever ""HAD"" !! :shock: hth`sJim@Omegaamps.com
