**1 Form A** , **2 Form A** (energise to make), **1 Form B** (energise to break), **1 Form C** (changeover), **1 Form A** coaxial **50** or **75 Ω** impedance (energise to make) configurations Mu-metal magnetically screened relays stacking on a **0.15** inches x **0.6** inches pitch. Insulation resistance **>10[12 ] Ω** ## ePo Additional build options are available ## Many benefits compared to industry standard relays [Ld **(see** last page)here) Suitable for high density applications such as A.T.E. switching matrices Two types of Form A (energize to make) switches are available, a general purpose switch (switch no.1) and a sputtered ruthenium switch (switch no.2) which is ideal for low level or “cold” switching applications. 5 volt coils normally have a resistance of 500 ohms and 12 volt coils are 1000 ohms. A sensitive single pole 5 volt device with a 1000 ohms coil is also available. Internal back E.M.F. clamping diodes are an option for all types. The small size of these relays often makes it possible to increase the functionality of existing designs without increasing the size of printed circuit boards. Mu-metal, due to its high permeability and low magnetic remanence is used to provide magnetic screening. This eliminates problems that would otherwise occur due to magnetic interaction. Interaction is usually measured as a percentage increase in the voltage required to operate a relay when two additional relays, stacked one each side, are themselves operated. An unscreened device mounted on this pitch would have an interaction figure of around 40 percent. Relays of this size without magnetic screening would therefore be totally unsuitable for applications where dense packing is required. Pickering Series 109 and 109RF have a typical interaction figure of 1 percent. Series 109P and 109PH have a typical figure of 3 percent.

~~————~~| |Switch no.2 is particularly good for switching low currents and/or voltages. It is the ideal switch for A.T.E. systems where| |cold switching techniques are often used. Where higher power levels are involved, switch no.1 is more suitable.| ## Note[1] : Life Expectancy The life of a reed relay depends upon the switch load and end of life criteria. For example, for an ‘end of life’ contact resistance specification of 1 Ω, switching low loads (10 V at 10 mA resistive) or when ‘cold’ switching, typical life is approx 10 x 10[9] ops. At the maximum load (resistive), typical life is 1 x 10[7] ops. In the event of abusive conditions, e.g. high currents due to capacitive inrushes, this figure reduces considerably. Pickering will be pleased to perform life testing with any particular load condition. |particular load condition.|| |---|---| |**Operating Voltages**|| |Coil voltage - nominal

2|Formerless coil construction increases
the coil winding volume, maximizing
magnetic efficiency, allowing the use of
less sensitive reed switches resulting in
optimal switching action and extended
lifetime at operational extremes.|Use of bobbins decreases the coil
winding volume, resulting in having
less magnetic drive and a need to use
more sensitive reed switches which
are inherently less stable with greatly
reduced restoring forces.|“Ty

external or internal), enables ultra-high
PCB side-by-side packing densities with
minimal magnetic interaction, saving
significant cost and space.Pickering

approx. 5%|Lower cost reed relays have minimal
or no magnetic screening, resulting in
magnetic interaction issues causing
changes in operating and release
voltages, timing and contact resistance,
causing switches to not operate at their

maximum cushioned protection of the
reed switch, minimising internal lifetime
stresses and extending the working life
and contact stability.|Transfer moulded reed relays (produced
using high temperature/pressure),
result in significant stresses to the glass
reed switch which can cause the switch
blades to deflect or misalign leading to
changes in the operating characteristics,
contact resistance stability and operating
lifetime.|Pickering

easily, e.g. special pin configurations,
enhanced specifications, non-standard
coil or resistance figures, special life

10|Pickering are committed to product
longevity; our reed relays are
manufactured and supported for
more than 25 years from introduction,
typically much longer.|Most other manufacturers discontinue
parts when they reach a low sales
threshold; costing purchasing and R&D
a great deal of unnecessary time and
money to redesign and maintain supply.|**Product**
