RI-03 Series Dry Reed Switch
RI-03 Series
Micro 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-03 Series Features
Ideal for general purpose reed relays and sensors
Contact layers: ruthenium on gold
Superior glass-to-metal seal and blade alignment
General data for all models RI-03
Dimensions in inches (mm)
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 Stan-
dard Coil, refer to “Application Notes” in the Reed
Switch 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-03 series.
No load conditions (operating frequency:
100Hz)
Life expectancy : min. 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 2 ms
Release time > 2 ms (latching or contact sticking).
Loaded conditions (resistive load: 12 V; 4 mA;
(15 mA peak); operating frequency: 170 Hz)
Life expectancy: min. 10⁶ operations with a failure rate
of less than 10^-8 with a confidence level of 90%.
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 expect-
ancy and reliability data. Further information is avail-
able on request.
Mechanical Data
Contact arrangement is normally open; lead finish is
tinned; net mass is approximately 190 mg; 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
