The Pickering Series 100HC offers higher coil resistance than the similar specification Series 114, the greater winding space allowing for the use of switches rated to 3 Amps continuous carry current and even higher levels in pulsed current applications.

Featuring sputtered ruthenium contacts, this also makes them suitable for low level or ‘dry’ switching applications and the reduced heating effect from the higher coil resistances gives them thermal EMF performance less than 10 μV.

The range features an internal mu-metal screen to minimize problems that would otherwise be experienced due to magnetic interaction when they are closely stacked. Form A versions may be stacked side-by-side. Due to the fact that the Form B types feature an internal biasing magnet, a gap of 0.4 inches minimum should be left between adjacent relays.

• 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.
