Pickering Electronics Releases New High Voltage, Long Life Dry Spring Relay

     Pickering Electronics of the United Kingdom released a special 67 series high-voltage relay again. The new product is the highest power switch in Pickering's product line, with a rated power of up to an amazing 200W. 67 series relay has a maximum cut-off voltage of 8 kV, a switching voltage of 6 kV, and a rated power of 200 W. It uses a single in line (SIL) lead frame, and the coil uses a frameless winding structure. Therefore, the package of this series relay is smaller than other similar devices.

     Kevin Mallett, the technical expert of Pickering Electronics, explained the new product: "The long-life tungsten contact with higher power and high current carrying capacity enables 67 series dry spring relays to be used in high-performance applications requiring high reliability. The uncommon single in line (SIL) packaging style makes some unusual stacking forms possible, which is very suitable for building various high-density multiplexers or matrix switches."

     67 series reed relay has PCB connection with switch and coil. In Pickering's 68 series, relays with rated parameters similar to 67 series have PCB connections with coils and flying wires to switches to separate high voltage from PCB.The new relay provides 5, 12 and 24V coil voltage options, and can be equipped with internal diodes, as well as 1 Form A and 1 Form C. Other voltage options are also available, and the lead length of the 68 series can be changed
