Pickering Electronics Debuts High-Voltage Reed Relays
March 26, 2012. Pickering Electronics’ new Series 104 high-voltage reed relays feature instrumentation-grade reed switches. They feature 1-kV stand-off at 10-W switching and up to 15-kV stand-off at 50-W switching, making them suitable for such applications as transformer or cable testing or any other automatic test equipment where high voltages are involved—for example, to control and isolate SCR or triac gates when mains voltages are switched.
One or two Form A (energize to make) or one Form B (energize to break) configurations are available. The range features an internal mu-metal screen to eliminate problems that would otherwise be experienced due to magnetic interaction when they are closely stacked.
Three types of dry switches are available, capable of standing-off 1, 1.5 or 3 kVDC. The 3-kV version has an increased clearance between the switch and coil pins to accommodate the higher voltage. Even higher voltage ratings and custom pin outs are available to special order.
Both Form A (energize to make) and Form B (energize to break) configurations are available, and it is usually possible to achieve a Form C (change-over) function by using a Form A and a Form B type together. (Pickering Electronics is a sister company of Pickering Interfaces.)
