Ultra-micro dry-reed switch hermetically sealed in a gas-filled glass 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 a combination of both. The device is intended for use in sensors, relays, pulse counters or similar devices.
Features
▪ Ideal for ATE switching, proximity sensors & medical applications
▪ Contact layers: gold, sputtered ruthenium
▪ Superior glass-to-metal seal and blade alignment
▪ RoHS Compliant
AT-Customization / Performed 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 performed 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.
Life expectancy and reliability
The life expectancy data given below are valid for a coil energized at 1.25 times the published maximum operate value for each type in the RI-80 series.
