RI-05

RI-05 Series Dry Reed Switch RI-05 Series Close differential pico dry-reed switch hermetically sealed in a gas-filled envelope. Single-pole, single-throw (SPST) type, having normally open contacts, and containing two magnetically actuated reeds. The switch is of the double-ended type and may be actuated by an electromagnet, a permanent magnet or a combination of both. The device is intended for use in sensors, relays, pulse counters or similar devices. RI-05 Series Features Close differential reed switch Contact layers: ruthenium on gold Superior glass-to-metal seal and blade alignment Dimensions in inches (mm) General data for all models RI-05 AT-Customization / Preformed Leads Loaded conditions (resistive load: 12 V; 4 mA; (15 mA peak); operating frequency: 170 Hz) Besides the standard models, customized products can also be supplied offering the following options: ! Operate and release ranges to customer specification ! Cropped and/or preformed leads Coils Life expectancy: min. 106 operations. End of life criteria: Contact resistance > 2Ω after 4ms Release time > 0.7ms (latching or contact sticking). Switching different loads involves different life expectancy and reliability data. Further information is available on request. Mechanical Data All characteristics are measured using the Philips Standard Coil. For definitions of the Philips Standard Coil, refer to “Application Notes” in the Reed Switch Technical & Application Information Section of this catalog. Life expectancy and reliability The life expectancy data given below are valid for a coil energized at 1.5 times the published maximum operate value for each type in the RI-05 series. No-load conditions (operating frequency: 100 Hz) Contact arrangement is normally open; lead finish is tinned; net mass is approximately 100 mg; and can be mounted in any position. Shock Life expectancy: min. 2 x 108 operations with a failure rate of less than 10-9 with a confidence level of 90%. End of life criteria: Contact resistance > 1Ω after 2ms Release time > 2ms (latching or contact sticking). 128 The switches are tested in accordance with “IEC 682-27”, test Ea (peak acceleration 150 G, half sinewave; duration 11 ms). Such a shock will not cause an open switch (no magnetic field present) to 6 (Europe) Tel: +31-45-5439343 / Fax +31-45-5427216 COTO TECHNOLOGY (USA) Tel: (401) 943-2686 / Fax (401) 942-0920 RI-05 Series Dry Reed Switch close, nor a switch kept closed by an 80 AT coil to open. Vibration Soldering The switches are tested in accordance with “IEC 682-6”, test Fc (acceleration 10 G; below cross-over frequency 57 to 62 Hz; amplitude 0.75 mm; frequency range 10 to 2000 Hz, duration 90 minutes in each direction). Such a vibration will not cause an open switch (no magnetic field present) to close, nor a switch kept closed by an 80 AT coil to open. Mechanical Strength The switch can withstand soldering heat in accordance with “IEC 68-2-20”, test Tb, method 1B: solder bath at 350 ±10°C for 3.5 ±0.5 s. Solderability is tested in accordance with “IEC 68-2-20”, test Ta, method 3: solder globule temperature 235°C; ageing 1b: 4 hours steam. Welding The leads can be welded. Mounting The robustness of the terminations is tested in accordance with “IEC 68-2-21”, test Ua1 (load 10 N). Operating and Storage Temperature The leads should not be bent closer than 1 mm to the glass-to-metal seals. Stress on the seals should be avoided. Care must be taken to prevent stray magnetic fields from influencing the operating and measuring conditions. Operating ambient temperature; min: -55°C; max: +75°C. Storage temperature; min: -55°C; max: +125°C. Note: Temperature excursions up to 150°C may be permissible. For more information contact your nearest Coto Technology sales office.
