We have analyzed the orbital parameters of 33 red dwarf and 17 red giant spectroscopic binaries belonging to open clusters to deduce the time-scale for orbital circularization. The dynamical evolution of BD +23°635, a short period binary member of the Hyades, should result in the formation either of a cataclysmic binary or a WUMa system.
