RI-05 Series Dry Reed Switch
RI-05 Series
Close differential pico dry-reed switch hermetically sealed in a
gas-filled envelope. Single-pole, single-throw (SPST) type, having
normally open contacts, and containing two magnetically actu-
ated 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.

General data for all models RI-05
AT-Customization / Preformed Leads
Loaded conditions (resistive load: 12 V; 4 mA;
(15 mA peak); operating frequency: 170 Hz)
Besides the standard models, customized products can
also be supplied offering the following options:
! Operate and release ranges to customer specification Life expectancy: min. 106 operations.
! Cropped and/or preformed leads
End of life criteria:
Contact resistance > 2Ω after 4ms
Release time > 0.7ms (latching or contact
sticking).
Coils
All characteristics are measured using the Philips
Standard Coil. For definitions of the Philips Standard
Coil, refer to “Application Notes” in the Reed Switch
Technical & Application Information Section of this
catalog.
Switching different loads involves different life
expectancy and reliability data. Further information
is available on request.
Life expectancy and reliability
Mechanical Data
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-05 series.
Contact arrangement is normally open; lead finish is
tinned; net mass is approximately 100 mg; and can be
mounted in any position.
No-load conditions (operating frequency: 100 Hz)
Life expectancy: min. 2 x 108 operations with a failure
rate of less than 10-9 with a confidence level of 90%.
End of life criteria:
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
Contact resistance > 1Ω after 2ms
Release time > 2ms (latching or contact sticking).
