The Comus 1517 and 1512 Mini SIP relays use the Comus Technology B.V. (Coto Technology®) reed switches with sputtered ruthenium contacts for high reliability and long life. They feature a magnetic shield to limit magnetic interaction, making them ideal for high-density relay matrices. Also, the 1517 and 1512 series have a PCB footprint up to 75% smaller than industry-standard SIP relays. The 1517 series offers the same 10 Watts power ratings as the full-size SIP with a 1 Amp carry current and 170 VDC switching voltage. The 1512 series delivers a 50% increase in power rating (15 Watts) compared to standard reed relays. The 3570.1517 and 3570.1512 series have a standard lead time of 10 to 12 weeks. The 1517 series’ prices start at $4.00 for 5,000 pieces, while the 1512 series’ prices start at $2.98 for 5000 pieces. Detailed datasheets are available on Comus’ website.
