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 high load applications in relays or switching devices.
Features
▪ Can handle up to 25 W load
▪ Contact layers: gold, plated ruthenium
▪ Superior glass-to-metal seal and blade alignment
▪ Excellent life expectancy and reliability
▪ 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-25 series.
Mechanical Data
Contact arrangement is normally open; lead finish is tinned; net mass is approximately 190mg; and can be mounted in any position.
Shock
The switches are tested in accordance with “IEC 68-2-27”, test Ea (peak acceleration 150 G, half sinewave; duration 11 ms). Such a shock will not cause an open switch (no magnetic field present) to close, nor a switch kept closedby an 80 AT coil to open.
