The Pickering Series 86 and 87 reed relays are dry or mercury wetted, encapsulated plastic packages with internal mu-metal magnetic shielding, designed for direct mounting on PCBs with a 0.1 inch pin grid. The 86-1-C-12/3D is a 1 Form C (change-over) relay with a 12 V nominal coil voltage and an internal diode. It has a maximum contact power rating of 3 W at 200 V for dry switches, with a maximum switching current of 0.25 A. The coil resistance is 3000 Ω, and it operates within a temperature range of -20 to +85 °C. The relay meets standard vibration and shock ratings of 20 G and 50 G respectively. Mercury wetted versions require vertical mounting in the direction of the printed arrow.
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.
