10mm Glass tube normally open reed switch

Product Introduction

The Heavy Duty Solid State Reed Switch Sensor is a reliable and rugged sensor that is ideal for harsh environments. It features a robust design that can withstand high temperatures and shocks, making it ideal for applications in the oil and gas industry, as well as other demanding industries. The sensor's reed switch is hermetically sealed, ensuring long-term reliability.

Product Advantage

The Magnetics heavy duty reed switch sensor is the most reliable and durable product on the market. With a 10 million cycle life, it is 10 times more durable than any other reed switch sensor on the market. This makes it ideal for applications where reliability and durability are critical, such as in medical devices and aerospace applications.

Product Uses

The principle of a reed switch is simple. It consists of two thin ferromagnetic metal strips (called reeds) inside a hermetically sealed glass envelope. The reeds are arranged so that they overlap when the switch is in the OFF position. When an external magnetic field is applied, the reeds move and the contacts touch, allowing current to flow through the switch.

Reed switches are used in a wide variety of applications including security systems, automotive sensors, flow meters, and many others.

A solid state reed switch sensor is a type of reed switch that uses semiconductor materials instead of metal contacts. This gives the sensor several advantages over a traditional reed switch, including:

- improved reliability
- longer life span
- higher operating temperatures

FAQ

-What is a reed switch?
A reed switch is an electrical switch operated by an applied magnetic field. It was invented in 1922 by Walter B. Ellwood.
-How does a reed switch work?
A reed switch consists of two ferromagnetic metal contacts in a sealed glass envelope. The contacts are usually open in the absence of a magnetic field, but close when a magnetic field is present.
-What are the benefits of using a solid state reed switch sensor?
Solid state sensors have many benefits over their electromechanical counterparts, including:
• Higher reliability
• Longer life expectancy
• Higher resistance to shock and vibration
• Reduced size and weight
