        Littelfuse Corporation (NASDAQ: LFUS) is an industrial technology manufacturing company dedicated to powering a sustainable, connected and safer world. The company is pleased to announce the introduction of the MATE-12B reed switch series. These ultra-compact reed switches offer longer life and greater reliability than existing 12.7mm reed switches for millions of cycles. Their service life exceeds the requirements of automated test equipment and electrical applications. Watch the video.
 
 
        The MATE-12B is a normally open switch with a 12.7 mm x 1.8 mm (0.276" x 0.071") glass enclosure that switches up to 200 Vdc 10 W. The MATE-12B is designed to be used in a wide range of applications. This switch has a high insulation resistance of 1012 ohms (minimum) and a low contact resistance of less than 100 milliohms. 
        The MATE-12B reed switch series is ideally suited for markets requiring long life and high reliability, such as:
1. Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) for power semiconductor testing,
2. appliances, and other limit switch applications. 
        Key benefits and differentiators of the MATE-12B include:
1. High reliability and long life: Extensively tested and validated for millions of cycles of operation, offering significant advantages over currently available 7 mm reed switches.
2. Design Flexibility: Ultra-compact magnet size and hermetically sealed glass housing make it suitable for more challenging environments and applications.
3. Save PCB space: Extremely compact dimensions and light weight help reduce the size of the final product.
4. Suitable for harsh environments: fully sealed and cULus compliant.
        "The MATE-12B is an extension of our existing product line to help our end customers significantly improve efficiency and extend service life." Wayne Wang, global product manager at Littelfuse, said, "Minimizing the risk of failure is especially important for limit switch applications such as automated test equipment for appliances and power semiconductors." 
        The MATE-12B reed switch series is available in 1,000-piece lots. Samples are available through authorized Littelfuse distributors worldwide. For a list of Littelfuse authorized distributors, visit Littelfuse.com.
