Series 120 Single Pole 4mm 2  ™ Reed Relays — Stacking on 4 mm x 4 mm pitch allowing the highest packing density currently available — 3, 5 or 12 V coils — Switching up to 1 A, 20 W — 1 Form A (SPST) normally open (NO) energize to make — Plastic package with internal mu-metal magnetic screen — Sputtered ruthenium instrumentation grade switch — Insulation resistance >1012 Ω —  Additional build options are available — Many benefits compared to industry standard relays (see last page) 1 Package Type The Series 120 reed relay range takes up the minimum board area making them ideal for very high density applications such as A.T.E. switching matrices or multiplexers. Requiring a board area of only 4 mm x 4 mm, these relays allow the highest packing density currently available. Two switch types are available, a general purpose sputtered ruthenium switch rated at 15 Watts, 1 Amp (3 volt version) or 20 Watts, 1 Amp (5 & 12 volt versions) and a low level sputtered ruthenium switch rated at 10 Watts, 0.5 Amps. The small size of the package does not allow an internal diode. Back EMF suppression diodes are included in many relay drivers but if they are not, and depending on your drive methods, these may have to be provided externally. While socketing relays is not normally recommended due to the risk of affecting contact resistance integrity, it is appreciated that sockets may sometimes be desired for ease of servicing/replacement, in the case of a relay being damaged or reaching the end of its working life. The device has pins on a 2 mm square pitch. There are suitable connectors available from some manufacturers, both SMD and Through Hole, that will allow these relays to be stacked in either a row or in a matrix on a 4 mm pitch. Examples of Packing Density Industry standard reed relay of the same electrical specification The above actual size graphic shows sixteen Series 120 Relays packed into an area of 1.6 cm x 1.6 cm. In comparison, only four of the industry standard reed relays can be fitted into the same area. A total of 528 Series 120 relays on a Pickering Interfaces ultra-high-density PXI module illustrates the packing density of these extremely small Reed Relays. 1 pickeringrelay.com ISSUE 1.2 JAN 2022 Pickering Electronics' Series 120 Specification Single Pole 4mm 2 ™ Reed Relays – Series 120 Switch Ratings - Dry Switches 1 Form A (energize to make) 20 W at 200 V 15 W at 200 V 10 W at 200 V Series 120 switch ratings - contact ratings for each switch type Switch No Switch Power rating form Max. switch current Max. carry current Max. switching volts Life expectancy ops typical (see Note1) Operate time inc bounce (max) Release time Special features 1 A 20 W (*15 W) 1.0 A 1.2 A 200 109 0.5 ms 0.2 ms General purpose 2 A 10 W 0.5 A 1.2 A 200 109 0.5 ms 0.2 ms Low level Switch no.2 is particularly good for switching low currents and/or voltages. It is the ideal switch for A.T.E. systems where cold switching techniques are often used. Where higher power levels are involved, switch no.1 is more suitable. Note1: Life Expectancy The life of a reed relay depends upon the switch load and end of life criteria. For example, for an ‘end of life’ contact resistance specification of 1 Ω, switching low loads (10 V at 10 mA resistive) or when ‘cold’ switching, typical life is approx 1 x 109 ops. At the maximum load (resistive), typical life is 1 x 107 ops. In the event of abusive conditions, e.g. high currents due to capacitive inrushes, this figure reduces considerably. Pickering will be pleased to perform life testing with any particular load condition. Operating Voltages Coil voltage - nominal Must operate voltage - maximum at 25°C Must release voltage - minimum at 25°C 3V 2.25 V 0.3 V 5V 3.75 V 0.5 V 12 V 9.0 V 1.2 V Environmental Specification/Mechanical Characteristics In the table below, the upper temperature limit can be extended to +125 °C if the coil drive voltage is increased to accommodate the resistance/temperature coefficient of the copper coil winding. This is approximately 0.4% per °C. This means that at 125 °C the coil drive voltage will need to be increased by approximately 40 x 0.4 =16% to maintain the required magnetic drive level.

Note2: Switch to coil capacitance Due to the asymmetrical internal construction of the relay, the capacitance to the coil from one switch connection is approximately half the capacitance of the other switch connection, pin 1 is lower. In some applications this feature may be used to advantage for example, in a multiplexer where it is desirable to minimize the capacitance of the common connection to maximize bandwidth. Note3: Capacitance across open switch The capacitance across the open switch was measured with other connections guarded. Note4: Insulation resistance Insulation resistance will reduce at higher temperatures. For more information on temperature effects click here, or contact Pickering for more in depth guidance. Note5: 12 volt coil versions With limited room inside small packages, it is not possible to achieve the high coil resistance figures that would be preferred, without using extremely fine wire gauges. If these ultra-fine gauges were used, there would be a resultant risk of poorer reliability due to the delicate nature of such wire. Reliability is of paramount importance to Pickering, so ultra fine gauges are avoided. The heating effect from the coil (V2/R) will therefore be higher than for the 3 or 5 volt versions. For example: 3 volt type: 200 Ohms = 45 mWatts 5 volt type: 300 Ohms = 83 mWatts 12 volt type: 800 Ohms = 180 mWatts 12 Volt versions are suitable for applications such as Multiplexers or Matrices where they are operated on a low duty cycle but consideration should be made where they are left operated for longer due to this heating effect.

Often low grade Reed Switches with electroplated Rhodium plating resulting in higher, less stable contact resistance. 22 Formerless Coil Construction Formerless coil construction increases the coil winding volume, maximizing magnetic efficiency, allowing the use of less sensitive reed switches resulting in optimal switching action and extended lifetime at operational extremes. Use of bobbins decreases the coil winding volume, resulting in having less magnetic drive and a need to use more sensitive reed switches which are inherently less stable with greatly reduced restoring forces. 3 Magnetic Screening Mu-metal magnetic screening (either external or internal), enables ultra-high PCB side-by-side packing densities with minimal magnetic interaction, saving significant cost and space. Pickering Mu-Metal magnetic screen - interaction approx. 5% Lower cost reed relays have minimal or no magnetic screening, resulting in magnetic interaction issues causing changes in operating and release voltages, timing and contact resistance, causing switches to not operate at their nominal voltages. Typical industry screen - interaction approx. 30% 4 SoftCenter™ technology, provides maximum cushioned protection of the reed switch, minimising internal lifetime stresses and extending the working life and contact stability. Transfer moulded reed relays (produced using high temperature/pressure), result in significant stresses to the glass reed switch which can cause the switch blades to deflect or misalign leading to changes in the operating characteristics, contact resistance stability and operating lifetime. 100% testing for all operating parameters including dynamic contact wave-shape analysis with full data scrutiny to maintain consistency. Simple dc testing or just batch testing which may result in non-operational devices being supplied. 1 Instrumentation Grade Reed Switches SoftCenter™ Technology 5 100% Dynamic Testing X-Ray of Pickering mu-metal magnetic screen X-Ray of typical industry magnetic screen Dynamic Contact Resistance Test Operate Contact Resistance Key Benefit Release 6 100% Inspection at Every Stage of Manufacturing 7 Inspection at every stage of manufacturing maintaining high levels of quality.

Pickering are committed to product longevity; our reed relays are manufactured and supported for more than 25 years from introduction, typically much longer. Most other manufacturers discontinue parts when they reach a low sales threshold; costing purchasing and R&D a great deal of unnecessary time and money to redesign and maintain supply. o n g v it e o n g v it e y Our reed relays can be customized easily, e.g. special pin configurations, enhanced specifications, non-standard coil or resistance figures, special life testing, low capacitance, and more.
