(a) Technical field of the invention The present invention relates to a non-self-retaining reed switch,
In particular, the present invention relates to a reed switch using a reed piece made of a Co-Fe-based ferromagnetic material with low electrical resistivity. (b) Background of the technology Conventional non-self-holding reed switches generally
It is used in fields that handle small currents of about 0.5A, and the material forming the lead piece has characteristics as a magnetic material rather than electrical resistivity, such as magnetic flux density, coercive force,
Materials have been selected by focusing on coefficient of thermal expansion, tensile strength, etc. However, in the future, the current values required for temperature-sensitive reed switches and motoronics equipment, such as
If you try to make a reed switch that flows a large current of 5A or more, the reed switch will either become impossible to operate due to the large amount of heat generated by the reed piece itself, or you will have to make the shape of the reed switch several times larger than normal. Therefore, we developed a ferromagnetic material that has excellent properties as a magnetic material, such as magnetic flux density, coercive force, coefficient of thermal expansion, and tensile strength, and has low electrical resistivity as a material for forming the lead piece. is desired. (c) Prior art and problems Figure 1 is a sectional view of a reed switch. In a typical reed switch, a pair of lead pieces 2 and 3 are inserted from both ends of a glass tube 1, and the glass tube 1 is sealed in an inert gas atmosphere. When the excitation coil 4 disposed outside the glass tube 1 is energized, the magnetic flux passing through both the reed pieces 2 and 3 closes the gap 5 at the overlapping contact portion of the reed pieces and turns on the switch. Next, when the excitation coil 4 is de-energized, the magnetic attraction force of the contact gap 5 disappears, and the contact gap 5 opens to turn off the switch. Conventionally, 52 alloy has been used as the material for forming the lead pieces 2 and 3 because it has excellent properties as a magnetic material, such as magnetic flux density, coercive force, coefficient of thermal expansion, and tensile strength. A ferromagnetic material of Fe (10 to 18%)-Co (remainder) alloy is used as a ferromagnetic material that has excellent properties as a material and has low electrical resistivity. The Fe (10-18%) - Co (remainder)
The properties of the alloy are shown in Table 1.

[Table] In other words, the magnetic flux density and coercive force are slightly inferior to 52 alloy, but the electrical resistivity is much lower than 52 alloy, and the coefficient of thermal expansion is 117.5 ± 2.5 × 10 - 7 /℃. However, although it is not listed in Table 1, 10~18Fe−
Co alloy has a problem in the sealing strength of lead pieces 2 and 3. That is, glass tube 1 in a low temperature atmosphere of -55℃
In a low temperature tensile strength test in which the lead piece 2 or 3 was fixed and a load of 2 kg/72 hours was applied, the leakage failure was 0% for 52 alloy, but 10 to 18 Fe-Co
It has been confirmed that almost 100% of alloys cause leak defects. (d) Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to develop a ferromagnetic material that has excellent properties as a magnetic material, such as magnetic flux density, coercive force, coefficient of thermal expansion, and tensile strength to the extent that it does not cause any practical problems, and has a low electrical resistivity. The object of the present invention is to provide a reed switch in which the reed pieces are formed of a material and can solve the above-mentioned problems. (e) Structure of the invention And this purpose is to
This is achieved by enclosing a lead piece made of a ferromagnetic material of %) and Co (residual) alloy in an enclosure in an inert gas. (f) Embodiments of the Invention Next, examples will explain how the reed switch according to the present invention is actually implemented. Second
The figure shows Fe (8-12%), Ni (3-6%), which is the present invention.
It shows the relationship between Ni content, coercive force Hc, and leak failure rate in a ferromagnetic material of Co (residual) alloy. In the figure, when the Ni content is 0%, the leak defect rate reaches almost 100%, but when the Ni content is 3%, the leak defect rate is almost 100%.
% or more, the leak failure rate decreases to 0%. On the other hand, the holding force Hc increases as the Ni content increases, but in a non-self-holding type reed switch, the holding force Hc is allowed up to 50e;
If the content is 6% or less, there is no problem in practice. In addition, the coefficient of thermal expansion is approximately 126±3×10 -7 /°C.
Although this is slightly larger than 123±3×10 -7 /°C for ~18Fe-Co alloy, this is not a problem in practice. Furthermore, other properties are almost the same as 10-18Fe-Co alloy. Table 2 summarizes the above characteristics.
