The Pickering Series 80 is a general purpose dry reed relay with a 1 Form A switch configuration, designed for direct TTL drive at 5 V coil voltage with a coil resistance of 500 Ω. It is encapsulated in a plastic package with an internal mu-metal magnetic shield and mounted on a 0.1 inch pin grid. The relay supports switching up to 10 W at 200 V with a maximum contact current of 1.2 A and a typical life of 10^8 operations under low-load conditions.
These ranges of reed relays are available with both dry and mercury wetted switches. They are available with 5, 12 and 24 volts coils, a particularly useful feature of the 5 volt dry devices is their ability to be driven directly from TTL, the coil requiring only 10mA of drive current. All units have an internal magnetic screen and can be supplied with built-in diode if required.
Standard coil voltages are 5, 12 and 24 volts. All relays are fitted with internal magnetic screen to avoid stray magnetic interaction between adjacent relays. Many special coil resistances are available, and relays can be designed to customers specific requirements. These Pickering relays fit straight onto P.C. boards with pins on the popular 0.1 inch grid. They are completely protected, being encapsulated in plastic cases. With these series you get the choice of three different dry reed switches and two mercury wetted switches in a range of configurations to cover all switching problems. See Switch Ratings in adjacent column.
The Series 80 and 85 are electrically similar ranges but with alternative pin configurations; these are shown overleaf. Their mercury wetted equivalents are prefixed 88 and 89 respectively..
