Electronics firm celebrates 50 years in business

Monday, 29 January 2018 by pickering
Pickering Electronics Celebrates 50 Years in Business

Pickering Electronics, a local electronics company manufacturing high-tech electronic relays, has announced that it has been in business for an impressive 50 years and is still going strong, with sales in 2017 up by 30% on the previous year.

Founded in 1968 by the late John Moore, the future of the business Mr Moore built is bright, with the company now continuing to be overseen by Keith, John Moore’s son. Keith commented: “Pickering has grown and prospered a great deal in the past few years, we are investing heavily here in Clacton to further build on the past 50 years of success that my father, John Moore, created from scratch”.

The Pickering Group now employs just under 200 people locally, with a further 180+ globally, with manufacturing facilities in the Czech Republic, along with additional representation in countries throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australasia.

As the company has grown in revenue over the years, they have been keen to give back to the local community. Pickering annually donates to St. Helena’s Hospice Tendring Centre and Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Sarah Green, Director of Income & Communications at St. Helena Hospice Tendring Centre, said: “The ongoing support of Pickering Electronics at the Tendring Centre now totals £70,000 which has allowed us to directly impact care for many patients.”

Having just enjoyed a record year in 2017, the company will continue to give to local charities, who they strongly believe are vital to the community.

The company’s success is due to its unique ability to design high quality components, a strong vision from their founder, the speed in which they get innovative designs to market, a good relationship with their suppliers and commitment from their much-valued staff.

Graham Dale, Technical Director at Pickering Electronics, commented, “Pickering was based in Colchester for 5 years, before relocating to Clacton-on-Sea, where we have been based for the past 45 years. In that time, the company has seen many hundreds of local people pass through our doors, some staying with the company for 20, 30, or even 40 years. We have a very high regard for all our staff, considering them to be our most valuable asset. We would like to thank them all for their continued support.”

To celebrate 50 years in business the company have various celebrations planned, including a party for all their staff, as well as publishing a book about the company’s first 50 years. The book features various milestones in Pickering’s history, along with stories, quotes and personal photographs from their founder, directors and employees. The book will be available to download from the Pickering Electronics’ website from the beginning of February.

Pickering to showcase world’s smallest footprint Reed Relay at Productronica 2017

Monday, 06 November 2017 by pickering

Pickering Electronics, a long-established Reed Relay manufacturer, will showcase the world’s highest density Reed Relay at Productronica 2017, on booth A1.452.

Pickering’s new Series 120 4mm2 TM reed relay range (Figure 1) has attracted a lot of interest since being released in July at Semicon West in San Francisco. The relays require a board area of only 4mm x 4mm, making it the highest packing density currently available, taking up the smallest board area ever. Series 120 Reed Relay 4mm TM

Two switch types will be 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.

These are the same reed switches as used in many other long-established Pickering Electronics ranges but are orientated vertically within the package, allowing this very high density. 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.

Pickering Series 120 Reed Relays on PXI PCBFigure 2: A total of 528 Series 120 relays on Pickering Interfaces ultra-high-density PXI module illustrates the packing density of these extremely small Reed Relays.

The relays feature an internal mu-metal magnetic screen. Mu-metal has the advantage of a high permeability and low magnetic remanence and eliminates problems that would otherwise occur due to magnetic interaction. Relays of this small size without magnetic screening would be totally unsuitable for applications where dense packing is required.
To learn more about this industry changing Reed Relay visit Pickering Electronics in booth A1.452 at productronica 2017 in November 14 – 17 2017.

Rapid adds Pickering Electronics to its Reed Relay Range

Wednesday, 11 October 2017 by pickering
Pickering Reed Relay distributor Rapid Electronics

Rapid Electronics, a leading UK electronics distributor, has partnered with Pickering Electronics to become their first official distributor in the UK.

“I am delighted to welcome Pickering to the Rapid relay portfolio”, said Richard Abbott, Product Manager of Electronic Components at Rapid. “Pickering are a company with a wealth of experience in the design and manufacture of quality engineered reed relays, consistently developing relay solutions for changing technologies, applications and PCB requirements.”

Pickering Electronics is a long-established manufacturer of Single-in-Line (SIL/SIP), Dual-in-Line (DIL/DIP), Through-Hole, Surface Mount and custom configuration reed relays in 1 Form A, 2 Form A, 1 Form B, 1 Form C and 2 Form C.

Users will have access to a wide variety of Pickering’s product ranges through Rapid Electronics online shop, including Pickering’s latest innovation – the Series 120 4mm2 TM Reed Relay range.

These Single Pole (1 Form A) relays attracted a lot of interest since being released at Semicon West due to its extremely small size of 4mm x 4mm, whilst still switching up to 1 Amp, 20 Watts.

These are the same reed switches as used in many other long-established Pickering Electronics ranges but are orientated vertically within the package, allowing this very high density.

Reed relay shrinks size, boosts density

Friday, 08 September 2017 by pickering
Series 120 Reed Relay 4mm TM

Pickering Electronics has unveiled a new reed relay that requires a board area of mere 4 x 4 mm. The company claims that its Series 120 relays occupy the smallest board area while boasting the highest packing density currently available.

The new reed relays are available in two switch types: a general-purpose sputtered ruthenium switch rated for up to 20 W and 1 A and a low-level sputtered ruthenium switch rated at 10 W and 0.5 A.

These reed switches are oriented vertically within the package, and that significantly improves the packing density. But the small package size doesn’t allow an internal diode, either. Here, it’s worth mentioning that back EMF suppression diodes are included in many relay drivers. However, if they are taken out, depending on the drive method, diodes can be provided externally.

The Series 120 relays feature an internal mu-metal magnetic screen. Mu-metal provides high permeability and low magnetic remanence and eliminates problems that would otherwise occur due to magnetic interaction. The relays without magnetic screening are not suitable for applications in which dense packing is required.

The connectors — available in SMD and through-hole formats — allow these relays to be stacked in either a row or in a matrix on a 4-mm pitch.
