Pickering has created a high voltage reed relay, that can stand off 1.5kV and switch up to 1kV. Called Series 131, they are single pole (normally-open) single-in-like devices with a 12.5 x 3.7mm footprint and 6.6mm height. The high voltage rating is specified with resistive loads. “At these high voltages, even stray capacitance can generate …
