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 ...

They use a buoyant float to gauge a fluid level. In most models, the float carries permanent magnets and encircles a stationary stem. As the float rises or drops with fluid level, the magnetic field ...

A line of reed switches suits applications such as liquid-level sensors, proximity sensors, automotive, security, and other on/off functions where standard mechanical switches do not work. Glass ...

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 ...

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 ...

A tiny new MEMS-based reed switch may enable engineers to reduce the size of the electronic circuitry in devices ranging from ingestible endoscopes and hearing aids to insulin delivery systems and ...
