  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction Overview The REL-16.PCI provides 16 reed relay outputs. The outputs offer high quality, long life, low current (10 Watt maximum), dry contact switch closures. Reed relays are well suited for low current applications. The relays are normally open and will close when energized. The board is PCI bus specification 2.1 compliant.
