RI-21 Series Dry Reed Switch

RI-21 Series Micro 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 a combination of both.

The device is intended for use in sensors, relays, pulse counters or similar devices.

RI-21 Series Features General purpose reed switch High breakdown voltage Contact layers gold, plated ruthenium Superior glass-to-metal seal and blade alignment Excellent life expectancy and reliability

RI-21 Series Dry Reed Switch

Shock The switches are tested in accordance with “IEC 68-227”, 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 closed by an 80 AT coil to open.

Vibration The switches are tested in accordance with “IEC 68-26”, test Fc acceleration 10G below cross-over frequency 57 to 62 Hz amplitude mm frequency range 10 to 2000 Hz, duration 90 minutes . Such a vibration will not cause an open switch no magnetic field present to close, nor a switch kept closed by an 80 AT coil to open.
+125°C. Note Temperature excursions up to 150°C may be permissible. For more information contact your nearest Coto Technology sales office.

Soldering The switch can withstand soldering heat in accordance with “IEC 68-2-20”, test Tb, method 1B solder bath at 350 ±10°C for s. Solderability is tested in accordance with “IEC 68-2-20”, test Ta, method 3 solder globule temperature 235°C ageing 1b 4 hours steam.

Welding The leads can be welded.

Mechanical Strength The robustness of the terminations is tested in accordance with “IEC 68-2-21”, test Ua1 load 40 N .

Operating and Storage Temperature Operating ambient temperature min -55°C max +125°C. Storage temperature min -55°C max:

Mounting

The leads should not be bent closer than 1 mm to the glass-to-metal seals. Stress on the seals should be avoided. Care must be taken to prevent stray magnetic fields from influencing the operating and measuring conditions.
