RI80

RI-80 Series Dry Reed Switch

RI-80 Series

Ultra-micro dry-reed switch hermetically sealed in a gas-filled glass 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-80 Series Features
u Ideal for ATE switching, proximity sensors & medical applications
u Contact layers: gold, sputtered ruthenium
u Superior glass-to-metal seal and blade alignment

General data for all models RI-80

AT-Customization / Preformed Leads
 Besides the standard models, customized products can also be supplied offering the following options:
Operate and release ranges to customer specification
Cropped and/or preformed leads

Coils
All characteristics are measured using the Philips Standard Coil. For definitions of the Philips Standard Coil, see Reed Technical & Application Information Section of this catalog.

Life expectancy and reliability
The life expectancy data given below are valid for a coil energized at 1.25 times the published maximum operate value for each type in the RI-80 series.

No-load conditions (operating frequency: 100 Hz)

Life expectancy: min. 108 operations with a failure rate of less than 2 x 10-9 with a confidence level of 90%.

End of life criteria:
   Contact resistance >1W after 2 ms
   Release time > 2 ms (latching or contact sticking)

Loaded conditions (resistive load: 5V; 100 mA; operating frequency: 170 Hz)

 Life expectancy: min. 107 operations with a failure rate of less than 10-8 with a confidence level of 90%.

End of life criteria:
   Contact resistance >2W after 4 ms
   Release time > .7 ms (latching or contact sticking)

Switching different loads involves different life expectancy and reliability data. Further information available upon request.

Mechanical Data
Contact arrangement is normally open; lead finish is tinned; net mass is approximately 65mg; and can be mounted in any position.

Shock
The switches are tested in accordance with "IEC 68-2-27", 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 68-2-6", test Fc (acceleration 10 G; below cross-over frequency 57 to 62 Hz; amplitude 0.75 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.

Mechanical Strength
The robustness of the terminations is tested in accordance with "IEC 68-2-21", test Ua1 (load 10 N).

Operating and Storage Temperature
 Operating ambient temperature; min: -55°C; max: +125°C.
Storage temperature; min: -55°C; max: +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 3.5 ±0.5 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.

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.
