The Series 97 is a range of dual-in-line reed relays with a plastic encapsulated package featuring an internal mu-metal magnetic shield. The 97-2-A-24/1 variant is a 2 Form A relay with a 24 V coil, rated for 10 W switching at 200 V with a contact current of 0.5 A and a maximum carry current of 1.2 A. It has a coil resistance of 3000 Ω and is designed for general-purpose use. The relay operates within a temperature range of -20 to +85 °C, supports 1 × 10⁸ switching operations at low loads, and requires correct pin orientation for proper function. The package dimensions are 18.8 mm by 10.7 mm. Mercury-wetted versions share the same footprint and pin configuration.
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.
