Pickering Introduces Industry's First Miniature SIP Reed Relay with 5kV Stand-off Capability

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, January 31, 2024

Pickering Electronics , the reed relay company which has pioneered miniaturization and high performance for over 50 years, has added a 5kV stand-off, up to 1.5kV switching version to its single-in-line Series 104 reed relay family.

Key Points: 
  • Pickering Electronics , the reed relay company which has pioneered miniaturization and high performance for over 50 years, has added a 5kV stand-off, up to 1.5kV switching version to its single-in-line Series 104 reed relay family.
  • Previously, to achieve a 5kV stand-off rating, a larger, non-SIP (Single-in-Line-Package) relay was required.
  • Commented Kevin Mallett, Technical Specialist at Pickering Electronics: “This is the first miniature SIP reed relay with a standoff of up to 5kV and up to 1.5kV switching, and so is particularly advantageous where a compact design is essential, as the devices can stack at just 6.35mm.
  • The 104 5kV version fills the gap in Pickering’s expanding high voltage relay range, which spans between 1kV – 15kV.

Tuesday, January 17, 2023

Electrostatic screening protects against noise which can otherwise occur between the coil drive and high voltage circuits.

Key Points: 
  • Electrostatic screening protects against noise which can otherwise occur between the coil drive and high voltage circuits.
  • This new screening is in addition to Pickering’s internal mu-metal screen which eliminates magnetic interaction when devices are closely stacked.
  • Series 68 devices have PCB connections to coil and flying leads to the switch which keeps high voltage away from the PCB.
  • Electrostatic screening adds a new level of protection, ensuring our relay families provide the optimum performance for high voltage applications.”
