INTERNAL CONSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION
UNI-FRAME
The 116C Centigrid relay is an ultraminiature, hermetically sealed, armature
relay capable of being directly driven by most IC logic families. Its low profile
height and .100" grid spaced terminals, which preclude the need for spreader

close PC board spacing are required.
The basic concept and internal mechanical structure are similar to the 114
DPDT relay. The following unique construction features and manufacturing

High force/mass ratios for resistance to shock and vibration.
Advanced cleaning techniques provide maximum assurance of internal
cleanliness.
Precious metal alloy contact material with gold plating assures excellent
high current and dry circuit switching capabilities.
By virtue of its inherently low intercontact capacitance and contact circuit
