Reed Switches
Reed switches are electric components, which open or close their contacts depending on external magnetic fields using special-alloy contact blades, hermetically sealed inside glass tubes. In contrast to relays, for instance, Reed switches are compact in size and support fast switching cycles. We carry a selection of high-quality Reed switches by StandexMEDER, available with contacts normally open or as change-over types, with different electrical characteristics and suited for through-hole mounting on circuit boards and other systems. Operating voltages range from 30 to 1000 VDC, adding to their very flexible operating temperatures and quick response times of 0.6 milliseconds.
