RI-06 Series Dry Reed Switch
RI-06 Series
Close Differential 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 applications with small hysteresis
in switching behavior.

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-06 series.
No load conditions (operating frequency: 100Hz)
Life expectancy : min. 10
8
operations with a failure
rate of less than 10
-9
with a confidence level of 90%.
134
End of life criteria:
Contact resistance > 1鈩?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. 10
6
operations.
End of life criteria:
Contact resistance > 2鈩?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 190 mg; and can be
mounted in any position.
