Pico dry-reed switch hermetically sealed in a gas-filled envelope. Single-pole, single-throw (SPST) type, having normally open contacts, and containing two magnetically actuated reeds.
The switch is of the double-ended type and may be actuated by an electromagnet, a permanent magnet or combination of both. The device is intended for use in senors, relays, pulse counters or similar devices.
Features
▪ Ideal for general purpose reed relays and sensors.
▪ Contact layers: ruthenium on gold
▪ Superior glass-to-metal seal and blade alignment
▪ RoHS Compliant
AT-Customization / Preformed Leads
Besides the standard models, customized products can also be supplied offering the following options:
• Operate and release ranges to customer specification
• Cropped and/or preformed leads
Coils
All characteristics are measured using the Philips Standard Coil. For definitions of the Philips Standard Coil, refer to “Application Notes” in the Reed Switch Technical & Application Information Section of this catalog.
