RI-26 Series Dry Reed Switch
RI-26 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 electro-
magnet, 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-26 series.
No-load conditions (operating frequency: 100 Hz)
Life expectancy: min. 3x10
8
operations with a failure
rate of less than 0.9x10
-9
with a confidence level of
90%.
End of life criteria:
Contact resistance > 1Ω after 2ms
114
End of life criteria:
Contact resistance > 2Ω after 2.5 ms
Release time > 2.5 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 50 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.

RI-26 Series Dry Reed Switch
Vibration
The switches are tested in accordance with “IEC 68-2-
6”, test Fc (acceleration 10 G; below cross-over fre-
quency 58 Hz; amplitude 0.75 mm; frequency range 10
to 2000 Hz, duration 75 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.
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.
