Axial Lead Reed Switches Low Power > MDCG-4 MDCG-4 15.3mm Sub-miniature Reed Switch RoHS Description The MDCG-4 Reed Switch is a sub-miniature, normally open switch with a 15.24mm long x 2.28mm diameter (0.600 x 0.090) glass envelope, capable of 10 switching 200Vdc at 10W. It has high insulation resistance of 10 ohms minimum and contact resistance less than 100 milli-ohms. This reed switch is also available in a surface mount version, that is, MDSM-4. Features Sub-miniature normally Capable of switching 200Vdc or open switch 0.5A at up to 10W Available sensitivity 12-38 AT Agency Approvals Benefits Zero operating power required for Hermetically sealed switch Agency Agency File Number Ampere-Turns Range contact closure contacts are not affected by and Excellent for switching micro- have no effect on their external controller logic level loads E47258 environment 12-38 AT E471070 Applications Note: Contact Littelfuse for specific agency approval ratings.

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. 2020 Littelfuse Revised: BO.11/25/20 littelfuse.com Specifications are subject to change without notice.Axial Lead Reed Switches Low Power > MDCG-4 MDCG-4 15.24mm Sub-miniature Reed Switch Product Characteristics Operating Characteristics 1 Operate Time 0.6ms - max. 1 Release Time 0.2ms - max. 2 Shock 11ms 12 sine wave 100G - max. 2 Vibration 50-2000 Hertz 30G - max.
