Patent ID: 8063725

Claim:
A reed relay device, comprising: a support substrate having a first side and a second side; a first reed switch having a main body with signal input and a signal output; a second reed switch having a main body with a signal input and a signal output; a first ground shield surrounding the main body of the first reed switch; a second ground shield surrounding the main body of the second reed switch; a plurality of ground terminals on the first side of the support substrate connected to the first ground shield; a plurality of ground terminals on the first side of the support substrate connected to the second ground shield; a first signal via routed through the substrate and interconnected to the signal output of the first reed switch; a second signal via routed through the substrate and interconnected to the signal output of the second reed switch; a first plurality of ground vias routed through the substrate and interconnected to the first ground shield; a second plurality of ground vias routed through the substrate and interconnected to the second ground shield; a plurality of contacts on the second side of the support substrate respectively electrically interconnected to the first signal via, the second signal via, the first plurality of ground vias and the second plurality of ground vias; and at least one filter element electrically bridging the signal output of the first reed switch with the signal output of the second reed switch.
