The 3600 Series is ideally suited to the needs of Instrumentation, Data
Acquisition, and Process Control. The specification tables allow you to
select the appropriate relay for your particular application. Recommended
for use in Scanners, Multiplexers and Digital or Analog Multipoint Record-
ers. If your requirements differ from the selection options, please consult
Coto’s Factory to discuss a custom reed relay. Refer to page 41 for
Thermal EMF test methods.

Environmental Ratings
Storage Temp: -35°C to +100°C;
Operating Temp: -20°C to +85°C
Solder Temp: 270°C max; 10 sec. max
The operate and release voltage and the
coil resistance are specified at 25°C.
These values vary by approximately 0.4%/°C
as the ambient temperature varies.
Vibration: 20 G’s to 2000 Hz; Shock: 50 G’s
Consult factory for life expectancy at other switching loads.
Model 3660: Reed switch between pins #9 & #10 is not low
thermal and is tied in common with the electrostatic shield.
3
Consists of 20V Zener-diode and 1N4002 diode in series,
connected in parallel with coil.
4
Model 3650: Reed switch between pins #7 & #8 is not low
thermal and is not tied in common with the electrostatic shield.
