Abstract
A method for fabricating a reed relay which includes a magnetically actuated switch and a bobbin. The switch defines an exterior surface and includes two terminals, and the switch provides a relatively low electrical resistance path between the two terminals when closed and provides a relatively high electrical resistance path between the two terminals when open. The bobbin defines an interior surface and an exterior surface, and the bobbin is disposed around the switch so that the bobbin interior surface contacts substantially all of a predetermined portion of the switch exterior surface.
