Ideal for high density card based systems and automatic test equipment Plastic package with internal mu-metal magnetic screen They take up the minimum of board area, conserving board space Insulation resistance **>10[12 ] Ω** ## e **3** , **5** or **12 V** coils with or without internal diode pS Additional build options are available ° Many benefits compared to industry standard relays (Cd (see last page) Suitable for high density card based systems such as VME, VXI, Compact PCI, and PXI. The high quality, sputtered ruthenium switch contacts also makes them ideal for Automatic Test Equipment. The 5 V coil version has a resistance of 500 Ω and may be driven directly from TTL logic. The Series 112 is encapsulated in a plastic package using a very high resistivity resin to achieve an insulation resistance greater than 10[12] Ω. The relay has an internal mu-metal screen which totally eliminates the risk of magnetic interaction problems. An unscreened device mounted on this pitch would have an interaction figure of around 40%. Relays of this size without magnetic screening would therefore be totally unsuitable for applications where dense packing is required. Pickering Series 112 have a typical interaction figure of 5%. **==> picture [433 x 215] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

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 1 x 10[9] ops. At the maximum load (resistive), typical life is 1 x 10[6] 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. **Operating Voltages** Coil voltage - nominal Must operate voltage - maximum at 25 °C Must release voltage - minimum at 25 °C 3 V 2.25 V 0.3 V 5 V 3.75 V 0.5 V 12 V 9 V 1.2 V ~~——_—~~ ## **Environmental Specification/Mechanical Characteristics** In the table below, the upper temperature limit can be extended to +125 °C if the coil drive voltage is increased to accommodate the resistance/temperature coefficient of the copper coil winding. This is approximately 0.4% per °C. This means that at 125 °C the coil drive voltage will need to be increased by approximately 40 x 0.4 =16% to maintain the required magnetic drive level. Please contact sales@pickeringrelay.com for assistance.
