of small switching networks, for slaving up to larger switches
or for operating external devices (e.g. lamps, solenoids etc.).
To simplify inter-relay wiring, interconnection points are
built onto the circuit board thus easing the construction of
complicated wiring.
Relay Type
The 40-110/15/20/25 is fitted with Reed Relays (Ruthenium
sputtered type), these offer very long life with good low
level switching performance and excellent contact resistance
stability. Spare Reed Relays are built onto the circuit board to
facilitate easy maintenance with minimum downtime.
All reed relays are manufactured by our sister company
Pickering Electronics, www.pickeringrelay.com.
