Clacton, July 2015 -- Pickering’s new Series 119 range for up to 3kV, is the industry’s smallest high voltage Single-In-Line Reed Relay now available. They are intended for voltages very much higher than standard small SIL relays, ideal for Cable Testers, Mixed signal ATE or other applications wher High Voltage capability is required.

The vacuumed, sputtered ruthenium reed switches have a superb low level performance also, which makes them an ideal choice wher 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 which allows high packing density and are made using Pickering’s SoftCenter® construction.

Four versions are available, all with either 3, 5 or 12 volt operating coils. The 1 Form A, 1kV version has a package and pin configuration compatible with the standard 109P type, i.e. 4 pins on 0.15 inches (3.8mm) pitch. 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.

Today, Pickering’s SIL range is by far the most developed in the relay industry with relays 25% the size of many of their competitors. Their relays are available in Surface Mount, Single-in-Line (SIL), Dual-in-Line (DIL) and many other popular package styles.
