The 3500 Series is ideally suited to the needs of Instrumentation, Data
Acquisition and Process Control. The specification tables allow you to
select the appropriate relay for your particular application. Recommended
for use in high accuracy DVM’s, Multiplexers and Digital or Analog
Multipoint Recorders. If your requirements differ from the selection
options, please consult Coto’s Factory to discuss a custom reed relay.
Refer to page 41 for Thermal EMF test methods.

Environmental Ratings
Storage Temp: -35°C to +100°C;
Operating Temp: -20°C to +85°C
Solder Temp: 270°C max; 10 sec. max
The operate and release voltage and the coil
resistance are specified at 25°C. These values
vary by approximately 0.4%/°C as the ambient
temperature varies.
Vibration: 20 G’s to 2000 Hz; Shock: 50 G’s
Consult factory for life expectancy at other switching loads.

Models 3501 and 3540, optional electrostatic shield is tied to
pin #5. Models 3502, 3520 and 3541, optional electrostatic
shield is tied to pin #13.
