High Density Vertical<br />
<strong>Pickering</strong> Series 117<br />
Single-in-Line SIL/SIP Reed Re lays<br />
Very high packing density<br />
1 Form A stacks on 0.15 x 0.27 inches pitch<br />
Features<br />
• SoftCenter ® construction (see adjacent diagram)<br />
• Highest quality instrumentation grade switches<br />
• Plastic package with internal mu-metal magnetic screen<br />
• They take up the minimum of board area, conserving board<br />
space<br />
• Insulation resistance greater than 10 12 Ω<br />
• 3 or 5 Volt coils with or without internal diode<br />
• 100% tested for dynamic contact resistance for guaranteed<br />
performance<br />
The <strong>Pickering</strong> Series 117 is a range of Single-in-Line relays intended<br />
for very high density ap pli ca tions such as A.T.E. switching matrices<br />
or multiplexers.<br />
They are available with either 1 or 2 Form A (energize to make)<br />
switches.<br />
Single switch versions require a board area of only 0.15 inches x<br />
0.27 inches. This is one quarter of the board area of the industry<br />
standard 0.2 x 0.8 inches Single-in-Line package. The very<br />
small size of these relays often makes it possible to in crease the<br />
functionality of existing designs without increasing the size of printed<br />
circuit boards.<br />
The Series 117 switch rating of 5 Watts, 0.5 A is adequate for most<br />
instrumentation applications. If a higher rating is required, the Series<br />
116, which is rated at 10 Watts, 0.5 A should be considered. The<br />
relay footprint and pin configurations of the Series 116 are identical<br />
but the case height increases slightly to 0.49 inches (12.5 mm).<br />
The relays feature an internal mu-metal magnetic screen.<br />
Mu-metal has the advantage of a high permeability and low<br />
magnetic remanence and eliminates problems that would otherwise<br />
occur due to magnetic interaction. Interaction is usu ally meas ured<br />
as a per cent age in crease in the voltage re quired to operate a<br />
relay when additional relays, stacked each side, are them selves<br />
operated. An unscreened de vice mount ed on this pitch would<br />
have an inter ac tion figure of around 40 percent. Relays of this size<br />
without magnetic screening would there fore be totally un suit able for<br />
ap pli ca tions where dense packing is required.<br />
3 volt and 5 volt coils are available with an optional Back E.M.F<br />
suppression diode.<br />
