Hi, I was wondering if anyone here could work out why a 1A reed relay
would 'stick' when carrying only 700ma.. It is only a low voltage (ie 2
or 3 v) so it is unlikely to be a power issue. The reed relay in
question is an RS Electronics 291-9710. They appear to stick randomly
then sometimes unstuck which seems a little odd. Is it possible that
they were damaged during soldering? I have noticed most images of reed
relays online have them in sockets. Excuse my general stupidity but I
have had little to do with these little bastar.... Components in the
past. Thanks in advance for any help.
