COTO RI-05

RI-05 Series Dry Reed Switch
RI-05 Series
Close differential pico dry-reed switch hermetically sealed in a
gas-filled 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-05 Series Features
Close differential reed switch
Contact layers: ruthenium on gold
Superior glass-to-metal seal and blade alignment
Dimensions in inches (mm)
General data for all models RI-05
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, refer to “Application Notes” in the Reed Switch
Technical & Application Information Section of this
catalog.
Loaded conditions (resistive load: 12 V; 4 mA;
(15 mA peak); operating frequency: 170 Hz)
Life expectancy: min. 106 operations.
End of life criteria:
Contact resistance > 2Ω after 4ms
Release time > 0.7ms (latching or contact
sticking).
Switching different loads involves different life
expectancy and reliability data. Further information
is available on request.
Life expectancy and reliability
The life expectancy data given below are valid for a
coil energized at 1.5 times the published maximum
operate value for each type in the RI-05 series.
Mechanical Data
Contact arrangement is normally open; lead finish is
tinned; net mass is approximately 100 mg; and can be
mounted in any position.
No-load conditions (operating frequency: 100 Hz)
Life expectancy: min. 2 x 108 operations with a failure
rate of less than 10-9 with a confidence level of 90%.
End of life criteria:
Contact resistance > 1Ω after 2ms
Release time > 2ms (latching or contact sticking).

Shock
The switches are tested in accordance with “IEC 682-27”, 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 682-6”, 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 in
each direction). 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.
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
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
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.
Operating ambient temperature; min: -55°C; max:
+75°C. Storage temperature; min: -55°C; max:
+125°C. Note: Temperature excursions up to 150°C
may be permissible. For more information contact
