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 ...

With its maximum glass length of 10.5 and overall lead length of 34.5 mm, Standex-Meder’s KSK-1A35/1 reed switch provides the extra sensitivity demanded by various line or high-voltage applications.

Regular magnets are an irreplaceable solution in many applications in the field of electromechanics. They are used in simple automation (door closing sensors), as well as in more elaborate systems, ...

This white paper is a discussion of Coto Technology on emerging reed sensing technologies. The sensor incorporates the best features of conventional reed switches combined with the inherent benefits ...

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 ...

Beverly, Mass. – Clare Inc.'s family of epoxy-encapsulated Dyad reed switches were made for physically demanding applications. Molded epoxy encapsulation extends the Dyad line into electronic ...

One of the oldest companies in the electronics industry, Coto Technology has been designing and developing small signal switching solutions for over 90 years. These days, the 93-year old company is a ...

All credit to Thomas Langewouters for an unusual reed switch ladder circuit for liquid level sensing. You can find it on his website here. He went on to use a more traditional two-terminal design, but ...
