The Pickering Series 86 and 87 are high sensitivity reed relays with dry or mercury wetted switches, designed for PCB mounting on a 0.1 inch pin grid and encapsulated in plastic with internal mu-metal magnetic shielding. This part is a 1 Form A (energize to make) relay with a 5 V coil and no internal diode. The dry switch rating is 10 W at 200 V with a maximum contact current of 1.2 A. The relay operates within a temperature range of -20 to +85 °C, with optional extension to +125 °C via increased coil voltage. The product meets ISO9001 and FM 29036 standards.
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.
