The Pickering Series 97 97-1-A-24/1D is a dual-in-line reed relay with a 24 V coil, 3000 Ω coil resistance, and a 1 Form A (energize to make) dry reed switch rated for 10 W at 300 V, 0.5 A continuous current, and 1.2 A switching current, with a typical life of 10^8 operations. It is encapsulated in a plastic package with a mu-metal magnetic shield and uses a high-resistivity epoxy resin for improved reliability. The device has a standard pin configuration compatible with both dry and mercury-wetted variants, and includes no internal diode. Physical dimensions are 18.8 × 10.7 × 9.4 mm. Operational temperature range is -20 to +85 °C, with vibration tolerance up to 20 G and shock tolerance up to 50 G.
The Series 97 is a range of reed relays with pins in the popular Dual-in-Line format.
Being encapsulated in a plastic package using a very high resistivity epoxy resin gives the device several advantages over the more usual moulded construction. The reed switches are not subjected to the high temperatures and pressures of the transfer moulding process with the inherent risk of damage to the sensitive glass to metal seals. The construction incorporates a mu-metal wrap around the operating coil to eliminate magnetic interaction problems. Higher drive levels are achieved, allowing a full range of switching configurations including 1 or 2 Form A (energize to make), Form C (change-over) and Form B (energize to break) in both dry and mercury wetted types.
If higher coil resistance levels are required, please look at our Series 98 DIL relays which may be driven directly from 74HC or 74HCT CMOS logic.
