Sputtered ruthenium switches rated at **10 W** , **0.5 A** or **15 W** , **1.0 A** Plastic package with internal mu-metal magnetic screen Take up minimum board area of only **0.2 x 0.33** Inches; conserving PCB space Insulation resistance **>10[12] Ω** **3V** or **5V** coils with with a resistance **up to 2200 Ω** and optional internal diode ee Additional build options are available Many benefits compared to industry standard relays (see last page) Very sensitive relays ideal for portable equipment or other applications where low power consumption is required Two switch types are available. Switch type number 1 is better suited for general purpose applications. Switch type 2 is better suited to low level or ‘cold’ switching. These relays feature internal mu-metal magnetic screens. Mu-metal has the advantage of a high permeability and low magnetic remanence and eliminates problems that would otherwise occur due to magnetic interaction. Relays of this size without magnetic screening would be totally unsuitable for applications where dense packing is required.

Low level| ## 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[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. pickeringrelay.com 1 Specification High Coil Resistance SIL/SIP Reed Relays – Series 118 **Operating Voltages** |Coil voltage - nominal

In some applications this feature may be used to advantage for example, in a multiplexer where it is desirable to minimize the capacitance of the common connection to maximize bandwidth. ## Note[3] : Capacitance across open switch The capacitance across the open switch was measured with other connections guarded. ## Note[4] : Insulation resistance Insulation resistance will reduce at higher temperatures.
