Series 131 Mini SIL up to 1.5 kV
The smallest high voltage relays available. 1 Form A. Up to 1500 V stand-off, 1000 V switching. 3, 5, or 12 V coils. Suitable for mixed signal semiconductor testers.
These SPST N.O. relays switch up to 0.7 Amp, 10 Watts and feature the highest quality, vacuumed, sputtered ruthenium reed switches. An internal mu-metal magnetic screen allows side by side stacking without magnetic interaction.
Series 119 Mini SIL up to 3 kV
Very small isolation reed relays in Form A and Form B configurations. Up to 3000 V stand-off, 1000 V switching. 3, 5 or 12 V coils. Suitable for cable testers.
The Series 119 is a range of Micro-SIL reed relays intended for voltages that are beyond the capabilities of conventional single-in-line reed relays. Insulation resistance >1012Ω. The 1 Form A, 1kV version is pin & package compatible with the industry standard Series 109P.
Series 104 Mini SIL up to 4kV
Small high voltage reed relays in Form A and Form B. Up to 4000 V stand-off, 1000 V switching. 5, 12 or 24 V coils. Suitable for transformer testing.
Stacking on a 0.25-inch pitch. There is also an option for an electrostatic shield between the switch and the coil to help minimise noise between the coil drive and high voltage circuits. A good choice for automatic test equipment where high voltages are involved. Where mains voltages are switched, for example to control and isolate S.C.R. or triac gates, they are an ideal choice.
