Mercury Wetted Reed Relays

Similar in construction and operation to dry reed relays except that a small amount of mercury is added inside the glass tube to provide more consistent contact resistances.
Main Advantages
• More power handling than a dry reed
• Consistent and low contact resistances
Main Disadvantages
• Position sensitive
• Mercury is a sensitive material
• Expensive relays
