REED MAGNET DETECTION SWITCH

The basic reed switch consists of two ferromagnetic nickel-iron wires and a glass capsule. The two wires are formed into “reeds” by flattening one end. The reed ends are carefully aligned with a small overlap and then permanently sealed inside the glass capsule. The overlap or contact area of the reeds is coated with special metals such as ruthenium. The nickel-iron leads are tin plated so that they can be soldered.

This is Reed Switch 2 x 14 mm Magnetic Control Switch with Normally Open Contact. When the device is exposed to a magnetic field, the two ferrous pins inside the switch pull together and the switch closes. When the magnetic field is removed, The Reed Switch separates and the switch opens. This makes for a great non-contact switch. This switch can carry up to 1.2A. This small and easy-to-use module can be used in a variety of environmental conditions, it operates very reliably in the -50°C to +140°C temperature range.
