The Pickering Series 100 is a range of single-in-line reed relays designed for direct drive from CMOS or NMOS logic, with low power consumption and thermal EMF of approximately 1 microvolt or less for dry switch variants. The 100-1-A-12/4 variant features a 12 V coil, a 1 Form A dry switch with a 10 W switching capacity at 500 V, an initial contact resistance of 0.15 Ω, insulation resistance greater than 10¹² Ω, and an operate time of 1.75 ms. It is housed in a plastic package with an internal mu-metal magnetic screen and has a typical capacitance of 3.5 pF across the closed switch and 0.1 pF across the open switch. The relay is mounted in a 7-pin SIP configuration with dimensions of 24.1 mm length and 10.2 mm width.
The Pickering Series 100 is a complete range of Single-in- Line (SIL) reed relays primarily intended for direct drive from 4000B CMOS or NMOS logic or similar low current sources. The mercury wetted relays in the range may be driven directly from TTL logic.
They are also useful for applications where conservation of current is important, for example, battery powered equipment.
The extremely low level of thermal EMF, about 1 microvolt or less, of the dry versions make them ideally suited to applications such as data acquisition or thermocouple switching.
An internal mu-metal magnetic screen is fi tted to avoid the effects of magnetic interaction between relays.
