Pickering Electronics has published the Reed RelayMate - a new publication, which looks in detail at Reed Relays. It describes how reed relays are constructed, what types there are and how they work. Relay experts explain temperature effects, magnetic interaction and other factors that can affect their operation. A comparison is made with other relay technologies and advice given on how to choose the correct relay for the application.

The Reed RelayMate is available free of charge from Pickering Electronic's website www.pickeringrelay.com and is available as printed copy or PDF format.

Pickering Electronics was formed in January 1968, with the aim to design and manufacture high quality reed relays, intended principally for use in Instrumentation and Test equipment.

Today, Pickering's Single-in-Line (SIL) range is by far the most developed in the relay industry with relays 25% the size of many of their competitors. The small SIL relays are sold in high volumes to large ATE companies throughout the world.

Pickering Electronics is an ISO 9001 certified company.
