SMD reed relay for semiconductor test and measurement equipment introduced by Pickering Electronics

CLACTON-ON-SEA, England – Pickering Electronics Ltd. in Clacton-on-Sea, England, is introducing the series 219 high-voltage surface-mount reed relay for mixed signal semiconductor test and measurement equipment, medical equipment testing, electric vehicle charge point testing, and monitoring solar cell photovoltaic efficiency.

The series 219 high voltage surface-mount device (SMD) reed relay can switch as much as 1 kilovolt, and comes in 2 Form A and 1 Form B packages.

Pickering offers contact configurations with three coil voltages: 3, 5, or 12 volts, and switch stand-off is as much as 3 kilovolts in the 1 form A package, as much as 2 kilovolts in the 1 form B package, and as much as 1.5 kilovolts in the 2 form A SMD package.

Electrostatic screening protection also is available to protect against noise that occur between the coil drive and high voltage circuits. This screening is in addition to Pickering's internal mu-metal screen, which eliminates problems caused by magnetic interaction when devices are closely stacked.
