MDSM-10 10.2mm Sub-miniature Surface Mount Reed Switch
Description
The MDSM-10 Reed Switch is a sub-miniature, surface mounting, normally open
switch with a 10.16mm long x 1.80mm diameter (0.400” x 0.071”) glass envelope,
capable of switching 200Vdc at 10W.
This reed switch is a surface mount version of the MDSR-10. It has high
insulation resistance of 10¹² ohms minimum and low contact resistance of less
than 120milli-ohms.

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.
