The Pickering modular 600 series provides engineers with unparalleled electrical specifications and flexible connection methods - with over 2500 optional combinations
Pickering Electronics, a global leader in high-performance reed relays, has launched its highly customized series of high-voltage reed relays, the 600 series, offering over 2500 combinations of electrical specifications and connection methods. With 55 years of industry experience, Pickering has developed the 600 series to meet the growing demand for customized high-voltage reed relays. Its modular architecture design enables engineers to accurately specify the required rated parameters and connection options for applications without compromising performance.
We have been manufacturing high-voltage reed relays for over 55 years, "said Robert King, product manager of Pickering Electronics reed relays." Although standard products can meet most general needs, applications above 5000V or with special constraints often require more specialized solutions. The 600 series responds to this demand, allowing engineers to flexibly adjust key specifications while maintaining the reliability of Pickering core technology.
The 600 series relay provides a multifunctional solution for a wide range of high-voltage application needs: switch voltage from 3.5kV to 12.5kV, withstand voltage from 5kV to 20kV, and has the highest switch coil isolation in the industry (up to 25kV) - even in harsh environments
Ensure reliable isolation between the control circuit and the high-voltage path. The switch power capability of up to 200W enables it to safely handle high-energy loads, perfectly adapting to applications that require simultaneous switching of high voltage and high power.
The 600 series uses tungsten plated contacts to provide excellent reliability and service life, and is equipped with a μ alloy magnetic shielding layer to minimize magnetic interference (reducing magnetic interaction between adjacent components from 40% to less than 5%), improving relay stability, and allowing A-type (energized closed) relays to be tightly arranged and installed - making it an ideal choice for high-density PCB layouts. The insulation resistance exceeds 10 ¹³ Ω, ensuring extremely low leakage and maximum isolation in high reliability applications.
By selecting coaxial or electrostatic shielding layers, signal integrity and noise reduction capabilities can be further improved. Optional diodes or Zener diodes are also available for managing coil back electromotive force. Multiple shell sizes, sealing materials, and contact forms can meet thermal, mechanical, or environmental constraints requirements, and provide application specific performance testing services.
Based on more than half a century of high-voltage reed relay technology accumulation and the newly established high-voltage switch innovation center, Pickering's newly launched configurable series demonstrates the company's continuous innovation commitment driven by customer needs and engineering excellence. The 600 series relays are widely used in high-voltage testing and switch applications, including: voltage testers; Power and signal cable tester; Electric vehicle BMS and charging station testing; Solar system inverter or insulation resistance testing; Medical equipment isolation; High voltage switches and signal control for instruments and meters.
Pickering's innovative reputation in the field of reed relays stems from decades of outstanding manufacturing. All relays use instrument grade reed switches to achieve stable and long-lasting operation (up to billions of cycles), supplemented by frameless coil structures and patented SoftCenter ™ Technology enhances mechanical strength. The μ alloy shielding design (internal or external) achieves high-density layout and extremely low magnetic interference. Each relay passes 100% dynamic contact waveform analysis and other tests to ensure consistent quality.
