From coil windings and reed relays to dry reed switches, Coto has established itself as a market leader in product quality and design innovation. By 1970, Coto emerged as a leading manufacturer of reed relays with the development of the first patented Low-Thermal EMF reed relay. Coto went on to produce the first ever surface-mounted reed relays in 1983 and world's smallest reed relay in 1994. With global manufacturing facilities and sales offices in the USA, Netherlands and Mexico, Coto has become a worldwide market leader of small signal switching products sold into the Automatic Test Equipment, Data Acquisition, Instrumentation, Process Control, Telecommunications, Medical and Security markets. As an ISO 9001 certified company, Coto is dedicated to design, operational, quality and service excellence.
Products range from the world's smallest surface mount reed relay to large high voltage reed relays.
Coto has become the sole supplier to several of the largest and most discriminating users of reed relays in the world. This level of customer confidence is the result of a constant and total commitment to product quality and technological leadership. Although used extensively in the manufacture of automatic test equipment relays, Coto switches are attractive for a wide range of applications in the telecommunication, automotive, domestic and general industrial areas. The performance of Coto Technology BV's reed switch range is the result of manufacturing methods perfected over many years. An exceptionally rugged ruthenium contact layer, applied by electro-chemical plating or by a sputtering process unique to Coto, assures lifetimes up to 1 billion operations.
