Finding the right components for your design can be challenging, that is why Pickering has created an easy-to-use Reed Relay Selector Tool for you to effortlessly find the most suitable relays for your product. Once you’ve found the right relay, you can request free samples, view datasheets, purchase in-stock items online, or request a quote to find out lead times.  

Pickering launch new electrostatic screened HV relays with up to 10kV standoff, 7.5kV switching at 50W.  The electrostatic shielding between the switch and the coil helps minimize noise between the coil drive and high voltage circuits. Optional flying leads available. The relays are ideal for EV & charge point testing, mining/gas analysis and many other HV applications. 

Pickering Electronics brings new ideas to reed relay market as it enters 55th year

Pickering Electronics, the reed relay company which has pioneered miniaturisation and high performance for over 55 years, now offers optional electrostatic shielding for its 10kV stand-off Series 67/68 SIL/SIP reed relay families.

Pickering Electronics has launched a new variant of its high voltage Series 104 SIL/SIP reed relay family with optional electrostatic shielding between the switch and the coil to help minimise noise between the coil drive and high voltage circuits.

Pickering Electronics will exhibit at electronica 2022. The company will launch a new variant of its high-voltage Series 104 SIL/SIP reed relay family (pictured) with optional electrostatic shielding between the switch and the coil.

Pickering to launch two new high voltage relays, with electrically static screens, at Electronica Munich. The electrostatic screen ensures minimum noise between the coil drive and high voltage circuits. Electronica will be held from 15 – 18 November in the Messe – visit Pickering in Hall A3, Booth 161.

Pickering Electronics, the reed relay company which has pioneered miniaturisation and high performance for over 50 years, has signed a global distribution deal with Premier Farnell, an Avnet Company.

1 Form A relays with 3 or 5 V coils are rated up to 1 A, 20 W switching, whilst still stacking on a tiny 4mm x 4mm pitch. Fast operate & release times makes them ideal for high-speed test systems and other very high-density applications such as A.T.E. switching matrices or multiplexers. Free 4mm2 TM samples available on request.

Pickering launches miniature coaxial reed relays with a typical life expectancy greater than 250 million operations and features superb packing density. Switching up to 10W, 0.5A in 1 Form A, with 3V or 5V coils. An Ideal choice for RF signal switching, RF switched tuneable filters and high-speed digital switching. Free samples are available, enquire now.

Pickering Electronics has launched a miniature coaxial reed relays for high frequency RF systems up to 3GHz.

Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are present in many applications today, often used in mission- and safety-critical situations that demand not only high reliability but also high operational predictability.

Sometimes finding the right components for your design can be challenging. That is why Pickering has created an easy-to-use Reed Relay Selector Tool for you to effortlessly find the most suitable relays for your modules. Once you’ve found the right relay, you can then download the datasheet, purchase in-stock items online, or request a quote to find out lead times.

With a stand-off voltage of up to 8 kV, and capable of 6kV switching at 200W, Series 67 relays are constructed using a lead frame in a Single-in-Line (SIP) format and feature former-less coils which results in a smaller package than is usual for this type of device. Suitable for high voltage, electro solar and cable testing. Free samples are available.

Pickering Electronics has released another high voltage relay within the unique Series 67 range.

Watch this short video to learn what hot and cold switching is when using reed relays and the effects different switching methods can have on relay life expectancy. The video, created by Pickering Electronics, also talks about capacitive inrush, another common reason for early relay failure that is easily avoidable. Watch the video now to learn more.

The Pickering Series 104 Reed Relay has remained a top seller for many years and now includes a stand-off of up to 4kV, whilst still stacking on a 0.25” pitch. This improved performance increases high voltage protection margin for added safety. The relays are ideal for mixed signal testing and transformer or cable testing. Free working samples available, enquire now.

Semicon Taiwan 2021 will be held in TaiNEX1 Taipei between the 28th to 30th December 2021.
