<strong>Pickering</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong> - A Brief History<br />
<strong>Pickering</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong> are a British manufacturer of high quality Reed Relays predominantly used in Instrumentation<br />
and Test equipment. <strong>Pickering</strong> have been designing Reed Relays since 1968 and today, <strong>Pickering</strong>'s Single-in-Line<br />
(SIL/SIP) range is by far the most developed in the relay industry, with relays 25 percent the size of many of their<br />
competitors. <strong>Pickering</strong> Relays are available in Surface Mount, Single-in-Line (SIL/SIP) and Dual-in-Line (DIL/DIP),<br />
with the option of dry or mercury wetted switches. These small relays are sold in high volumes to large ATE<br />
companies throughout the world.<br />
In 1980 <strong>Pickering</strong> moved to a purpose-built factory of 2200m 2 (22000 ft 2 ) in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, where all<br />
manufacturing took place until 2007, when <strong>Pickering</strong> opened a Czech manufacturing facility located on a site of<br />
12500 ft 2 . <strong>Pickering</strong> is a privately-owned company and currently employs approximately 150 people.<br />
<strong>Pickering</strong> are certified to ISO 9001-2000 and audited by the British Standards Institution. <strong>Pickering</strong> prides itself on<br />
the quality of its products therefore continuous inspection during the manufacturing process is carried out, and Reed<br />
Relays are 100 percent tested for all operating parameters.<br />
<strong>Pickering</strong> Interfaces - Technology Partner<br />
<strong>Pickering</strong> Interfaces is a sister company, who design and manufacture modular PXI/PCI/LXI switching systems for<br />
the Functional ATE market - pickeringtest.com. <strong>Pickering</strong> Interfaces are a large reed relay customer who work<br />
very closely with <strong>Pickering</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong> on leading edge reed relay designs, reliability testing, life testing, production<br />
engineering and QA issues. This close relationship greatly benefits both companies.<br />
