Leaders in the high-end reed relay market through innovative product design. 55 Years of designing, manufacturing and distributing high-quality Reed Relays for Instrumentation and Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), High voltage switching, Low thermal EMF, Direct drive from CMOS, RF switching and other specialist applications.
Reed Relays are available in Surface Mount (SMD), Single-in-Line (SIL/SIP), Dual-in-Line (DIL/DIP) and many other popular package styles. Pickering Reed Relays can be purchased direct or via our Agents/Distributors.
All contact configurations are offered with three coil voltages, 3V, 5V, or 12V. Only Pickering makes surface mount high voltage relays with 2 Form A and 1 Form B packages.
These relays have been specifically designed to endure high temperature environments of up to 125°C, whilst capable of standing off up to 4kV. The relays are ideal for mixed-signal testing and transformer or cable testing.
These high voltage reed relays now feature an optional electrostatic shield between the switch and the coil; helping minimize noise between the coil drive and high-voltage circuits. The relays are ideal for high voltage applications.

Reliability through Quality
55 years of outstanding reputation for extended relay lifetime derived from continuous staged manufacturing inspection, strenuous full range thermal cycling and 100% testing for all operating parameters.
Reliability through Design
Our environmentally compliant Reed Relays use Softcenter™ technology, therefore minimizing internal stresses on the reed switch, resulting in an extended life & contact resistance stability.
Switching Performance
Our formerless coil technology enables the use of higher AT grade switches; delivering more robust and reliable switching over lifetime, higher standoff voltages, tighter operating windows and a greater immunity to stray magnetic fields.
Cost & Size Peformance
Leading edge mu-metal magnetically screened reed relays allow ultra-high packing densities, saving significant PCB space resulting in lower costs, whilst eliminating magnetic interaction effects. 
Switching up to 12.5kV. Choice of 1 Form A (SPST NO), 2 Form A (DPST NO) & 1 Form B (SPST NC).
Five times smaller than industry standard relays without compromising on switching performance.
50 Ohms and 75 Ohms reed relays for up to 3GHz for RF and high-speed digital switching.
Part of the privately-owned Pickering Group, company operations employ around 250 staff across quality accredited factories in the UK and the Czech Republic, supplying demanding Aerospace, Infrastructure, Test & Measurement and ATE applications worldwide.
