Reed Switches reliably switch billions of operations. A reed switch uses simple magnet interaction to open and close it's contacts. And they consume no power in their normally open state. Reed switches are hermetically sealed so they can exist or be used in almost any environment. This is not the case for electromechanical and semiconductor switches. Our KSK-1A04 reed switch series is one of the world's smallest (3.95mm). Also the molded MK24 series surface mount design. These small switches have unique switching capabilities. So new applications in home appliances and low power devices are leading the reed switch industry. Standex Electronics is the world’s largest reed switch manufacturer. We produce more than 700 million reed contacts per year. Our switches feature the highest range of sizes, unique switching capabilities, quality and life expectancy. Since acquiring OKI reed switch manufacturing, Standex Electronics is the preferred worldwide source for reed switch technology. Some of our highest demanded switches are the ORD211, ORD213, ORD324, and ORT551, series. We are experts in specialized sensor packaging. Contact our engineers to discuss your design requirements.
Ultraminiature reed switch series manufactured by Standex Electronics are some of the smallest switches currently available in the world. One example is the KSK-1A04 series. Measuring just 3.95mm in glass length. This reed switch is produced in Germany and offers a unique flat lead construction. Furthermore, ultraminiature reed switch products have maintained their contact ratings as they've become smaller. This is due to advancements in reed switch contact materials...
Our miniature reed switch series have glass lengths ranging from 9-14mm. Aside from being miniature, they draw no power in their normally open state. This makes them some of the most sought after switches in the industry. Miniature reed switches come in a variety of switching characteristics. Such as close differential, high current, mercury, high performance and even SPDT single pole double throw changeover contacts. Furthermore, their miniature size make them ideal in critical...
A latching reed switch is an ideal solution in extremely low power requirements, particularly in battery powered devices. It is also referred to a or bi-stable (1 Form E) reed switch. Latching reed switches use two permanent magnets to achieve the latching function. The first magnet is partially magnetized. Bringing the contacts closer together, but they still remain open. The second magnet with an aiding field brought close to the switch will close the contacts. And they will remain closed....
A changeover reed switch has three contact leads. Form C or double throw switch described the switching function as break-before-make. The switching sequence is as follows. One contact opens its connection to another contact and then closes its connection to a third contact. Furthermore contact configuration is the number of switches or poles used in a component. So a single pole double throw (SPDT) device contains a single changeover switch. Likewise double pole double...
High frequency reed switch products are used in switching high frequencies in a variety of RF applications such as computers and laptops, digital components in cellphones and phone systems, functional PCB test equipment, integrated circuit (IC) testers, digital component testers and asic testers, and more. A high frequency reed switch used in an RF reed relay is capable of switching and carrying RF up to 20 GHz, because the reed switch’s leads are composed of nickel/iron ...
High power reed switch series are used in high power switching applications up to 120 Watts. Our customers use these switches in proximity, position, motion and end-limit sensing.
