Reed Switch/Sensor – Magnetic Switch – 12mm

Description

• Applications: Reed switches are commonly used in various applications, such as security systems, door and window sensors, magnetic proximity sensors, liquid level sensors, and other applications where the detection of the presence or absence of a magnetic field is required.
• Contact Material: The reed contacts inside the switch are typically made of ferrous materials, such as iron, and are sealed within a glass tube to protect them from the environment.
• Mounting: Reed switches can be mounted using screws, adhesive, or other suitable methods depending on the specific application and housing.
• Contact Rating: Reed switches come in various contact ratings, and the maximum current and voltage ratings depend on the specific model and application requirements.
• Normally Open (NO): Most Reed switches are normally open, meaning the contacts are separated in their default state and close when a magnetic field is applied.
• Hermetic Seal: The reed contacts are hermetically sealed inside a glass envelope, making Reed switches highly resistant to environmental factors such as moisture and dust.
