Combining the inherent benefits of MEMS-based design with the advantages of conventional magnetic reed-switch technology, the RedRock RS-A-2515 switch from Coto Technology boasts a footprint of less ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Conventional magnetic reed relays provide excellent low-power characteristics combined with a low level of electrostatic discharge (ESD ...

Just about everywhere you go, there’s a reed switch nearby that’s quietly going about its work. Reed switches are so ubiquitous that you’re probably never more than a few feet away from one at any ...

Designed for applications where the available magnetic field is extremely low and/or the space limitations are a major design factor, the GR150 magnetic reed switch functions as a non-contact position ...

Something as deceivingly simple as a MEMS magnetic reed switch can make a huge difference in the medical market via miniaturization thanks to MEMS manifacturing techniques. Coto Technology Inc., ...

Standex Electronics has created a series of mini magnetic field sensing reed switches, optimised to control up to 10W, 200V or 500mA. Called MK33, they are bare glass surface-mount reed switches with ...

There are two sensor choices, reed and Hall-effect switches. They have many similarities but also significant differences, explains Martin Reizner. Demand for reed switches has risen significantly in ...

A reed switch gets its name from the use of two or three thin metal pieces, called reeds, with plated contacts at their tips and spaced a small distance apart. The reeds are typically encapsulated in ...

[Rhys] wanted to secure his home against burglars, but didn’t want to go the normal route of using those bulky plastic magnet and reed switch deals. So he sourced some glass reed switches and made his ...
