Reed Relays for high-end Instrumentation, Automatic Test Equipment and Semiconductor Test
Pickering Reed Relays are offered in single-in-line (SIP), dual-in-line (DIP) through-hole and surface mount (SMD) packages, using only the highest quality instrumentation grade dry and mercury wetted reed switches.
Our reed relays are available in various contact configurations including 1 Form A (SPST N.O.), 2 Form A (DPST N.O.), 1 Form B (SPST N.C.), 1 Form C (SPDT changeover), 2 Form C (DPDT changeover) and 3 Form A (3PST N.O).

High Voltage
1kV to 15kV stand-off. 500V to 12.5kV switching. PCB pins, chassis or PCB mounting & flying leads.
Browse: High Voltage
High Packing Density
High performance, small size reed relays. Switch up to 1 Amp whilst taking up to just a quarter of the PCB space. These miniature relays feature magnetic shielding allowing close stacking without magnetic interaction effects.

Coaxial RF
50 Ohms and 75 Ohms reed relays for radio frequency (RF) and high-speed digital switching. Appropriate for up to 3GHz.
Browse: Coaxial RF
General Purpose
Pickering’s range of SIL / SIP general instrumentation reed relays available with 3V, 5V, 12V and 24V coils.
Browse: General Purpose
CMOS Drive
Pickering’s Series 101 reed relay range can direct drive from 74HC or HCT logic without the need of additional drivers.
Browse: Direct Drive CMOS
Portable Equipment
Very sensitive reed relays with high coil resistance. Relays useful for applications where conservation of current is required, for example, battery powered equipment.
Browse: Portable Equipment
High Power
Pickering’s Series 114 switch up to 40 Watts, 1 Amp, carrying 2 Amps. Due to this high rating these relays can, in some cases, be used as a substitute to mercury wetted reed relays.
Low Capacitance
SIP relays ideal for wide bandwidth A.T.E. switching matrices, attenuator switching or any other applications. Therefore, ideal where exceptionally low levels of inter-terminal capacitances are necessary.
Browse: Low Capacitance
Low thermal EMF
Reed relays with extremely low levels of thermal EMF, approximately 1 microvolt or less, make these relays appropriate for data acquisition or thermocouple switching applications.
Browse: Low Thermal EMF
