The Pickering Series 63 high voltage dry reed relay, model 63-1-B-24/1, is a printed circuit board mounted Form B (energize to break) relay with a 24 V coil, 10 kV switching capability at 50 W maximum, and 15 kV stand-off voltage. It features tungsten-plated contacts, a 3 ms operate time, and a 2 ms release time. The relay has a typical switch capacitance of 0.15 pF and a minimum insulation resistance of 10¹² Ω. The coil is polarity sensitive, with the positive terminal identified by a red spot. The device operates within a temperature range of -20 to +85 °C and has dimensions of 63.5 mm length, 19.1 mm width, and 21.3 mm height. Mounting near ferrous surfaces or other relays within 25 mm is prohibited due to magnetic interference. Standard versions include push-on high voltage connections on the top face.
The Series 62 and 63 ranges of high voltage reed relays feature push-on terminals and are supplied complete with the appropriate connectors and insulating boots.
They are available for up to 15kV stand-off, 12.5kV switching at 50 Watts maximum. Tungsten plated contacts ensure a long and reliable life.
Both Form A (energize to make) and Form B (energize to break) configurations are available and it is usually possible to achieve a Form C (change-over) function by using a Form A and a Form B type together.
These relays feature an internal mu-metal magnetic screen which permits the Form A (energize to make) versions to be mouted side by side. Special versions can be manufactured with an electrostatic screen and/or earth connection to the magnetic screen. This can often be useful where EMC problems are encountered, please contact our technical sales office.
Form B types are magnetically biased and should not be mounted directly onto ferrous metal chassis or less than 1 inch (25mm) away from other relays as the coil operating voltage characteristics will be altered due to magnetic interaction. The coils of Form B relays are polarity sensitive, the positive connection is identified by a red spot.
5, 12, and 24 volt coils are available as standard other voltages can be supplied to special order.
