The vacuumed sputtered ruthenium reed switches have a superb low level performance, making them an suitable choice where a wide range of signals are involved. The range is based on the long established series 109P style of plastic package with an internal mu-metal magnetic screen, allowing for high packing density. All Pickering reed relays have full magnetic screening which permits side-by-side operations. The series 119 devices are made using Pickering’s unique SoftCenter construction.
Four versions are available, all with either 3, 5 or 12V operating coils. The 1 Form A, 1kV version has a package and pin configuration compatible with the Pickering’s standard 109P Reed Relay. These can be stacked side-by-side for maximum packing density. The other types have package lengths and pin configurations appropriate for their voltage ratings. The relays available in surface mount, single-in-line, dual-in-line and many other popular package styles.
