The Series 97 is a range of reed relays with pins in the popular Dual-in-Line format.

Being encapsulated in a plastic package using a very high resistivity epoxy resin gives the device several advantages over the more usual moulded construction. The reed switches are not subjected to the high temperatures and pressures of the transfer moulding process with the inherent risk of damage to the sensitive glass to metal seals. The construction incorporates a mu-metal wrap around the operating coil to eliminate magnetic interaction problems.

Higher drive levels are achieved, allowing a full range of switching configurations including 1 or 2 Form A (energize to make), Form C (change-over) and Form B (energize to break) in both dry and
mercury wetted types.

If higher coil resistance levels are required, please look at our Series 98 DIL relays which may be driven directly from 74HC or 74HCT CMOS logic.

A useful tip
If there is a chance that you might want to use mercury wetted relays instead of dry relays at a later date, for example to increase switch ratings, lay out the PCB initially as though for the mercury wetted type with pins 1 and 14 uppermost. This allows uprating later without PCB changes. The mercury versions in the Series 97 have identical pin configurations to the dry types.

  • Free Sample Service - determining which components to design in can be challenging. Fortunately, here at Pickering Electronics, we provide free working samples to help you evaluate our high-quality Reed Relays.
  • Reed Relay Selector Tool - this tool will help you narrow down our large offering to get you the correct reed relay for your application. Once you narrow your selections down you can download a relay datasheet for more information, purchase in stock items or request a quote to find out lead times of made to order (MTO) relays.
  • Concise Tech Guide - this guide will help you to maximise the reliability of your design.
  • Quality Assurance - learn more about the various accreditations and certifications that Pickering holds.
  • Custom Designed Reed Relays - With over a thousand catalog parts there is plenty of choice when choosing the right Reed Relay for your product, but if you cannot find one suitable for your needs Pickering can customize our standard reed relay parts to suit your specific requirements and applications.

All Pickering reed relays feature the highest quality instrumentation grade reed switches making them suitable for the most demanding applications. Internal mu-metal magnetic screens (optional on Series 103) allow very high packing density. Diodes are optional.
