Series 103 Low Capacitance SIL/SIP Reed Relays — Up to 20 W switching — Stacking on 0.2 Inches pitch — Highest quality instrumentation grade switches — Inter-terminal capacitances are a fraction of that for standard SIL relays — 1 Form A or 1 Form A (Coaxial) configurations — Pin compatible with standard 0.2 Inch SIL relays — Optional internal mu-metal magnetic screen — Optional internal coaxial electrostatic screen — Insulation resistance >1012 Ω Package Type 1 2 — Suitable for wide bandwidth A.T.E. switching matrices and attenuator switching —  Additional build options are available — Many benefits compared to industry standard relays (see last page) The Pickering Series 103 is a range of Single-in-Line reed relays intended for such applications as wide bandwidth A.T.E. switching matrices, attenuator switching or any other applications where exceptionally low levels of inter-terminal capacitances are required, for example, when carrying fast rise time pulses. A version with an internal co-axial electrostatic screen is available which is ideal for applications where capacitively coupled noise from switch to coil connections is undesirable. The co-axial device has a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms and is also suitable for RF applications, HF performance is similar to the Series 102M. The range consists of two basic types, the first achieves ultra low capacitance levels of typically 0.1pf from each switch connection to the coil and typically 0.08pf across the open switch contacts, by virtue of an internal coaxial electrostatic screen or guard connection. Where it is not possible to drive a guard, the second type has inherently low capacitance figures of typically 0.4pf from each switch connection to the coil and typically 0.1pf across the open switch contacts. These figures for the unguarded version are around one quarter of those for standard SIL devices. Two types of Form A (energize to make) switches are available, a general purpose switch (switch no.1) and a vacuum sputtered ruthenium switch (switch no.2) which is ideal for very low level or “cold” switching applications.

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 10 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 9V 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.

Simplified Equivalent Circuits It is convenient to consider the internal capacitances as a delta network as in the circuit diagram alongside. C1 is the capacitance between one end of the switch and the coil, C2 is the capacitance between the other end of the switch and the coil. These two figures will be approximately equal. C3 is the capacitance across the open switch. When measuring the values of any one of these capacitances, it is necessary to “guard” the unused relay connections to avoid the parallel effects of the other capacitances, connection details when performing these measurements on a capacitance bridge are shown below. Relays with an internal electrostatic screen have the screen terminals guarded in all cases.

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.
