The Pickering Series 80 reed relay, specifically the part number 80-2-A-12/1, features a dual Form A switch configuration, allowing for energizing to make functionality. It operates with a coil voltage of 12 volts and has a coil resistance of 1000 ohms. The relay is designed to handle a maximum switching power of 10 watts at 200 volts and can carry a maximum current of 0.5 amps. It is encapsulated in a plastic package with an internal mu-metal magnetic screen to minimize stray magnetic interactions. The relay is suitable for direct integration onto printed circuit boards with a pin configuration compatible with a 0.1 inch grid. This product is ideal for applications requiring reliable switching in a compact form factor.
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..
