Reed sensors use the reed switch as the heart of their switching mechanism. When paired with a permanent magnet they are an ideal method of sensing and detecting metal, movement, proximity, and liquid level and flow. Reed sensors come in hundreds of different sizes and shapes. And meet a multitude of application requirements. Additionally reed sensors are available in many contact forms and up to 100W rated power. Furthermore the reed sensor will perform billions of operations. But only if switching relatively low voltages and currents. Finally a reed sensor works by opening and closing its reed switch contacts in the presence of a magnetic field.
Hall Effect Sensors most notably offer solid state reliability. And low power consumption in an environmentally isolated package. Moreover the hall sensor will operate over a wide temperature range. While producing consistent activation points. The hall effect sensor is a semiconductor device. Which is manufactured using an integration process. Hall effect sensors requires an electric current flowing through the device. And in the presence of a voltage producing magnetic...

ATEX approved reed sensors are tested to carry out switching functions in potentially explosive atmospheres such that they will not become an ignition point when subjected to short circuits or adjacent component failures. They must also switch to a defined state when subjected to overload conditions. Reed sensor products meeting these requirements are generally referred to as intrinsically safe...
A latching reed sensor is an extremely low power solution. These work very well in battery powered devices and other power critical applications. Latching or bi-stable sensors use magnetic biasing to open and close their contacts. The sensor contains one or more internal reed switches and/or permanent magnets. The internal permanent magnet moves the reed switch contacts closer together. But still the contacts remain in the open state. Because the magnet is only partially...
A normally closed (SPST-N.C.) or Form B reed sensor represent the state of contacts before any magnetic field is applied to them in which they exist in the closed state. To open the contacts a magnet of opposite polarity is brought into the existing magnetic field cancelling the field from the existing permanent magnet. This in turn opens the contacts. The magnet must be carefully chosen so that its strength is strong enough to cancel the field from the permanent magnet, but not too...
Changeover reed sensor products contain one or more single-pole double throw SPDT reed switches where a normally closed contact opens before a normally open contact closes. A changeover reed sensor is also referred to as a (Form C) reed sensor or break-before-make (Form C) which defines the sequence in which one reed switch contact opens its connection to another contact and then closes its connection to a third contact. Changeover reed sensors can also be ...
High temperature reed sensor products typically have an expansive temperature range of-55°C to 150°C and has no negative effect on the reed sensor’s operating characteristics. They are ideal under harsh environmental conditions that typically exist in under-the-hood environments (automotive)...

A sensor magnet in housing is a permanent magnet that is epoxy encapsulated in a plastic or metal housing that is either cylindrical panel mount or adjustable screw mount, rectangular screw mount, or other custom mounted housing. Our sensor magnet products are used to actuate various magnetic reed sensors, hall effect sensor, and magnetic reed switches. The magnet is typically mounted to the moving part while the sensor or switch is mounted to a fixed surface...
