  • Five Signs That It Is Time to Replace the Mercury Based Relays and Switches in Your Industrial Application
    • white paper • white paper • white paper • white paper • industry: industrial process heating author: brian bettini Five Signs That it is Time to Replace the Mercury Based Relays and Switches in Your Industrial Application And What to Look for in a Suitable Replacement Summary: Mercury relays have been used in industrial applications for decades, most commonly for power switching. For example, in applications that use process heating, mercury relays are traditionally used to power on and off of electric heaters efficiently. But these kinds of relays are being replaced for several reasons. The latest generation of mercury relay/mercury switch alternatives is safer and more accurate and just as durable. • white paper • white paper • The background: mercury in industry U.S. patents for a mercury-based relay can be found as far back as 1937, and they have been used in industry for decades.1 They were first developed for applications where contact erosion could present a challenge for more conventional relay contacts, or where constant cycling was needed (such as heating operations). Mercury relays have been known to overheat, however, and there have been known cases of relays exploding and sending vaporized mercury into the workspace. This can potentially create a serious environmental and safety issue, not to mention the need for costly clean-up. But even with that risk, and with the EPA and the European Union placing bans on the use of mercury, some manufacturers are still using mercury relays or similar outdated switching devices. Why? Some industrial engineers claim to prefer mercury relays because they believe them to be durable and capable of handling difficult and dirty environments.

Pickering Electronics maintains a commitment to continuous product development, consequently we reserve the right to vary from the descriptions given in this catalogue. Edition 1b Reed RelayMate This book provides an overview of how reed relays work how they are constructed and how to interpret their specifications and make best use of them in their applications. It is intended to be a practical book about reed relays aimed at engineers. It requires little or no theoretical knowledge about the materials they are constructed from, all the issues are dealt with in a practical manner. With the information supplied in this book we hope users will better understand the efforts that go into designing what in principle is a simple component but which in practice is a complicated product full of engineering compromises and best value judgements. Created by the team at Pickering Electronics, April 2011 About Pickering Electronics Pickering Electronics was formed in January 1968 to design and manufacture high quality reed relays, intended principally for use in instrumentation and automatic test equipment. Pickering Electronics offer an extensive range of high quality instrumentation grade reed relays designed for applications requiring the highest levels of performance and reliability at an affordable price. Through the experience of supporting the most demanding manufacturers of large ATE systems with high relay counts the company has refined its assembly and quality control methods to optimise its manufacturing methods.
