RI-60

RI-60 Series Dry Reed Switch RI-60 Series Ultra-miniature dry-reed switch hermetically sealed in a gas-filled glass 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 relays, sensors, pulse counters or similar devices. RI-60 Series Features Ideal for ATE switching Contact layers: gold, sputtered ruthenium Superior glass-to-metal seal and blade alignment Excellent life expectancy and reliability Dimensions in inches (mm) General data for all models RI-60 AT-Customization / Preformed Leads Loaded conditions (resistive load: 5 V; 100 mA; operating frequency: 125 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. 2 x 107 operations with a failure rate of less than 10-8 with a confidence level of 90%. End of life criteria: Contact resistance > 1Ω after 2.5 ms Release time > 1 ms (latching or contact sticking). Loaded conditions (resistive load: 20 V; 500 mA; operating frequency: 125 Hz) All characteristics are measured using the Philips standard coil. For definitions of the Philips Standard Coil, refer to the Reed Switch Technical & Application Information Section of this catalog.

Such a shock will not cause an open switch (no magnetic field present) to close. Vibration 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 switches are tested in accordance with “IEC 68-226”, test Fc (acceleration 10G; below cross-over frequency 57 to 62 Hz; amplitude 0.75 mm; frequency range 10 to 2000 Hz; duration 90 minutes.) 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 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: +125°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.
