The Pickering Series 86-1-A-12/1D is a 1 Form A dry reed relay with a 12 V nominal coil voltage and an internal diode, designed for PCB mounting on a 0.1 inch pin grid. It features an encapsulated plastic package with an internal mu-metal magnetic shield, a maximum contact current of 1.2 A, and a switching power rating of 10 W at 200 V. The relay has a typical life expectancy of 10^7 operations at maximum resistive load. Operating temperature range is -20 to +85 °C, with derating allowed up to +125 °C. The coil resistance is 3000 Ω at 25 °C.
These ranges of reed relays are essentially the same as the dry Series 80 and 85 and the mercury wetted Series 88 and 89 but with coil resistances between 2 and 3 times higher. This feature is particularly useful when using large numbers of relays, to reduce overall current requirements and heating effects, or when the available coil drive power is restricted, for example, in battery operated equipment.
Many special resistances are available, and relays can be designed to customers specific requirements.
These Pickering reed relays fit straight onto P.C. boards with pins on 0.1 inch grid. They are completely protected, being encapsulated with plastic covers. All relays are fitted with internal magnetic screens to avoid stray magnetic interaction between adjacent relays.
The Series 86 and 87 are electrically identical ranges but offer alternative pin configurations. These are shown overleaf.
