PICKERING 116-1-A-12/2D

116-1-A-12/2D is a 116 series single-in-line SIL/SIP reed relay. This relay has instrumentation grade switch with sputtered ruthenium contacts making them ideal for low level or “cold” switching. It has a plastic package with internal mu-metal magnetic screen. The mu-metal has the advantage of a high permeability and low magnetic remanence and eliminates problems that occur due to magnetic interaction. Interaction is usually measured as a percentage increase in the voltage required to operate a relay when additional relays, stacked each side, or themselves operated. Relay of this size without magnetic screening would be totally unsuitable for dense packing. This reed relay is intended for very high density applications such as A.T.E. switching matrices or multiplexers.
