In this QuickChat, Alix Paultre speaks with Robert King, product manager for relays at Pickering Electronics, about the role reed relays play in semiconductor testing. Reed relays offer advantages like low leakage currents, low contact resistance, and high switching reliability, making them ideal for precise testing applications. Reed relays are capable of high voltage switching, handling significantly higher voltages than some other technologies like MEMS and EMRs of a comparable size.
Pickering Electronics is a recognized manufacturer of relay technology, known for compact designs, magnetic shielding, and hermetically sealed contacts, ensuring accurate and reliable testing. Pickering Electronics also offers custom relay solutions, addressing challenges such as density and size in semiconductor test equipment, further enhancing cost-effectiveness and performance in semiconductor manufacturing.
