COTO RI-27

RI-27 Series Dry Reed Switch
RI-27 Series
Pico 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 relays, sensors, pulse counters or
similar devices.

Coils
All characteristics are measured using the Philips
Standard Coil. For definitions of the Philips Standard
Coil, refer to the Reed Switch Technical & Application
Information Section of this catalog.
End of life criteria:
Contact resistance > 1Ω after 2.5 ms

RI-27 Series Dry Reed Switch
End of life criteria:
Contact resistance > 2Ω after 4 ms
Release time > 0.7 ms (latching or contact sticking).
Switching different loads involves different life expectancy and reliability data. Further information is available on request.
Mechanical Data
Contact arrangement is normally open; lead finish is
tinned; net mass is approximately 100 mg; and can be
mounted in any position.
Shock
RI-27AA; RI-27A
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 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.
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.
Vibration
Welding
The switches are tested in accordance with “IEC 68-26”, 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.
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.
