RI-46 Series Dry Reed Switch
RI-46 Series
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 elec-
tromagnet, a permanent magnet or a combination of both. The device is
intended for use in relays, sensors, pulse counters or similar devices.

tinned; net mass is approximately 280mg; and can be
mounted in any position.
Shock
Soldering
The switches are tested in accordance with “IEC 68-2-27”,
test Ea (peak acceleration 500 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 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 accor-
dance 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 switches are tested in accordance with “IEC 68-2-6”,
test Fc (acceleration 10G; below cross-over-frequency 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 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.
The robustness of the terminations is tested in accordance
with “IEC 68-2-21”, test Ua1 (load 40 N).
Operating and Storage Temperature
Operating ambient temperature; min: -55°C; max:
+125°C. Storage temperature; min: -55°; max: +125°C.
Note: Temperature excursions up to 150°C may be
permissible. For more information contact your nearest
Comus Group sales office.
