Latest high-power reed relay from Pickering Electronics
Ideal for mixed signal semiconductor testing, Pickering’s Series 144 single-in-line reed relays are designed to handle power levels far exceeding those of traditional dry SIL reed relays (typically rated at 0.5 amps at 10 Watts). Series 144 reed relays offer a switching current of up to 2 Amps, facilitating power delivery of up to 60 Watts, or 1 Amp for up to 80 Watts, and a continuous carry current of up to 3 Amps. Additionally, the range boasts high-voltage capability, with a switching voltage of 1000VDC up to 10W and up to 3kV stand-off.
Series 144 is Pickering’s smallest miniature SIP reed relay with a power rating of up to 80 Watts. It combines the ability to effectively switch higher power with exceptional low-level performance. It also serves as a viable alternative to mercury wetted reed relays or miniature electromechanical relays (EMRs) due to its exceptional low-level performance and high isolation advantages.
Pickering’s range of high-performance reed relays use only the highest quality reed switches and offer single-in-line (SIP), dual-in-line (DIP) through-hole and surface mount (SMD) packages. Available in various contact configurations, including 1 Form A (SPST N.O.), 2 Form A (DPST N.O.), 1 Form B (SPST N.C.), 1 Form C (SPDT changeover), 2 Form C (DPDT changeover) and 3 Form A (3PST N.O), Pickering reed relays are ideal for many applications including mixed-signal semiconductor testers, in-circuit test equipment, high-endcable testers, backplane testers, EVs (electric vehicles), medical electronics, solar energy, big physics, and high voltage instrumentation.
