The Pickering Series 86-87 reed relays are encapsulated, plastic-dipped devices with internal mu-metal magnetic shielding, designed for printed circuit board mounting on a 0.1 inch grid. The 86-2-A-24/1D is a 2 Form A dry switch configuration with a 24 V nominal coil voltage and an internal diode, rated for 10 watts at 200 V and 1.2 A maximum contact current. The device operates from -20 °C to +85 °C and includes an orientation bar printed on the top face. Life expectancy is up to 10^7 operations at maximum resistive load. Coil resistance is 6000 Ω, with a maximum operate voltage of 18 V and minimum release voltage of 2.4 V 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.
