Specifications
The NICS Brand 530 features insulation resistance input/output up to 1013 Ω and transmission frequencies up to 50KHz. It has a turn on/off time of 5.5/4.2 µsec, with an extra high isolation voltage. The collector-emitter voltage max is 32 VDC, forward voltage Uf max is 1.5 VDC, and DC forward current If max is 100 mA. Emitter power dissipation Ptot max is 170 mW, and collector power dissipation Ptot max is 100 mW. The isolation voltage input/output min ranges from 10,000 to 20,000 VDC, with a 22,000 VDC option available. The turn on/off creeping distance, air path I/O min is 34 mm, and the current transfer ratio lc/lf (lf = 10mA) min is 0.5 A.
General Requirements
High isolation between control and load circuit, capability of switching high voltage up to 1kVDC, and carrying very low current for leakage current detection. High reliability, long lifetime, compact size, and high creepage & clearance distance are emphasized. Compliance with IEC 60664-1, ISO 6469-3, and IEC 62109-1/2 is required.
Applications
Suitable for battery management systems, solar inverters, power distribution, battery conditioning, and smart grid applications. Custom configurations include customized nominal voltage of coil, high coil resistance for low consumption, THT and SMD mounting, and life time testing dependent on load.
Test & Measurement
Standex Electronics reed relays are ideal for switching both low and high level loads, passing fast digital pulses in a 50 ohm impedance environment, and offering excellent isolation. They are used in insulation testers, digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, semiconductor testers, multiplexers, data selectors, matrix switches, automated test equipment, cable harnesses testers, and embedded PCB testers.
Medical Applications
Reed relay technology is used in medical equipment such as HF surgical generators and automated external defibrillators, providing high voltage and frequency signal handling with vital galvanic isolation. Compliance with IEC 60601-1, IEC 61010, and IEC 60255-27 is required.
Intrinsically Safe Applications
Optocouplers handle input/output isolation up to 4,000 VDC, certified for ATEX requirements. They offer insulation resistances up to 1013 ohms, fast switching time, high reliability, and long creepage distances. Suitable for electronics in mining, oil & gas production, geothermal and seismic instrumentation, and non-arcing environments.
