Specialized high-voltage routing
20kV-class relays are used when high stand-off capability is required in a compact test or measurement path.
20kV HV Reed Relay
20kV Reed Relays for Specialized HV Switching
20kV reed relay solutions are specialized components for high-voltage test benches, insulation systems and custom switching assemblies that require careful derating and application review.

What this component is used for
Custom assemblies
These relays are often engineered into complete HV fixtures with cables, shielding, enclosure spacing and safety interlocks.
Low-leakage design discipline
At very high voltage, surface contamination, humidity and mechanical spacing become critical design variables.
Application details
Hipot and dielectric withstand testing
Route test voltage to selected outputs in automated safety test equipment.
Cable, connector and insulation test
Switch between conductors, shields and guard paths in multi-point HV test fixtures.
Research and industrial labs
Support controlled high-voltage routing where manual cable changes would be slow or unsafe.
OEM equipment integration
Design into custom instruments after confirming load type, switching conditions and environmental requirements.
Selection factors engineers should confirm
- Confirm whether the application is cold-switching, hot-switching or stand-off only.
- Calculate stored energy in cables and capacitors before opening or closing contacts.
- Use proper HV connectors, wiring, enclosure spacing and interlocks.
- Confirm insulation resistance, leakage, life and environmental derating.
- Request engineering review before using near maximum ratings.
Engineering note: 20kV switching should be treated as a system design problem, not only a component selection. MiRelay should review the real circuit and mechanical layout before recommendation.
