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
Dimensions in inches (mm)

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

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 68-2-
6”, test Fc (acceleration 10G; below cross-over fre-
quency 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.
Mechanical Strength
The robustness of the terminations is tested in accor-
dance with “IEC 68-2-21”, test Ua
1
(load 40 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 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
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.
