Clacton-on-Sea - Pickering Electronics are Manufacturers of high quality Reed Relays for Instrumentation and Automatic Test Equipment (ATE), High voltage switching, Low thermal EMF, Direct drive from CMOS, RF switching and other specialist applications. Relays are available in Surface Mount, Single-in-Line (SIL), Dual-in-Line (DIL) and many other popular package styles.

Pickering Electronics will highlight the following products amongst others at Semicon West:

Pickering Series 117 SIL Reed Relays

Pickering Electronics' 117 Series Reed Relays are ideal for very high density applications such as A.T.E. switching matrices or multiplexers. They are available in 3V and 5V, 1 Form A and 2 Form A variants and like all of our Single-In-Line Series they are constructed using our SoftCenter(TM) technology.

Pickering Series 113 SIL Changeover Reed Relays

Pickering Electronics' Series 113 changeover single-in-line reed relay is our smallest changeover. They're magnetically screened and require a board area of only 0.15 inches (3.8mm.) by 0.5 inches (12.7mm.). They have a 3 Watts rating and like all of our Single-In-Line Series they are constructed using our SoftCenter(TM) technology.

FREE Reed RelayMate Book - Expertise at first hand

The Reed RelayMate from Pickering Electronics is a publication which looks in detail at reed relays. In it you'll find out how reed relays are constructed, what types there are, how they work, what parameters affect their operation, how to choose the correct relay, a comparison with other relay technologies and how to drive and place reed relay coils. The Reed RelayMate is available free from the home page of Pickering Electronics' website and is available in either hard copy or pdf format. We will also have copies available free of charge at the show.
