Abstract:
A ceramic reed switch includes a ceramic tube, and a first end cover and a second end cover, a first pin is disposed on an outer side of the first end cover, a first magnetic reed is disposed on an inner side of the first end cover, the first magnetic reed forms a cantilever beam structure on the first end cover, a second pin is disposed on an outer side of the second end cover, a second magnetic reed is disposed on an inner side of the second end cover, the second magnetic reed forms a cantilever beam structure on the second end cover, free ends of the first magnetic reed and the second magnetic reed are overlapped in the ceramic tube and form an air gap, and a contact is disposed on an overlapped end of the first magnetic reed and the second magnetic reed.
Abstract:
Sealed relays often contain organic matter which reduce the conductivity of the electrical contacts. The invention is a sealed relay with a catalytic metal (Pd, Pt, Ni, Rh, Ir, Co, Fe, Os and Ru) on a rubbing surface which polymerizes the organic matter into a solid polymer that does not interfere with the electrical contacts.
Abstract:
Magnetically actuated devices such as, e.g., switches and synchronizers typically comprise a magnetically semihard component having a square B-H hysteresis loop and high remanent induction. Among alloys having such properties are Co-Fe-V, Co-Fe-Nb, and Co-Fe-Ni-Al-Ti alloys which, however, contain undesirably large amounts of cobalt.According to the invention, devices are equipped with a magnetically semihard, high-remanence Fe-Mn alloy which contains Mn in a preferred amount in the range of 3-25 weight percent whose remanence B.sub.r (gauss) typically is greater than or equal to 20,000-500.times. (weight percent Mn), and whose squareness B.sub.r /B.sub.s typically is greater than 0.95.Magnets made from alloys of the invention may be shaped, e.g., by cold drawing, rolling, bending, or flattening and may be used in devices such as, e.g., electrical contact switches, hysteresis motors, and other magnetically actuated devices.Preparation of alloys of the invention may be by a treatment of initial deformation, aging, deformation, and final aging.
Abstract:
The cooperating contacts of a reed switch each comprise a layer of palladium. A protective layer of ruthenium deposited on the palladium layer prevents the formation of frictional polymers.
Abstract:
A switching device having moving contacts in a hermetically closed envelope with loose particles on the contact surfaces having a size of 0.01 - 10 Mu m of material having a specific resistance of
Abstract:
A sealed contact dry reed switch in which nickel-iron reed contacts are held in a glass envelope by seals and in which the surfaces of the reed contacts, including those portions under the seals, are covered with a thin layer of silver.
Abstract:
A REED SWITCH WHEREIN EACH REED IS PROVIDED WITH A RELATIVELY THICKER POST EXTENDING ALONG THE REED AT THE SIDE REMOTE FROM THE OTHER REED AND THE POST IS SECURED TO THE FIXED END OF ITS REED ONLY.
Abstract:
Each of the reeds is preloaded against a thicker post that extends along it at its side opposite the other reed. Each has an anchor portion flatwise secured to the post, a flat armature portion, and a thinner neck portion connecting the anchor and armature portions and extending obliquely to them. The reeds are bimetallic, of ''''Kovar'''' and ''''Niromet 42,'''' with the latter next to the post. A molybdenum contactor carried by one reed cooperates with a tungsten contact on the other. Operating parts are hermetically sealed in an envelope evacuated to a deep vacuum.
