Products
Our surface mount SMD reed switch products feature a bare, hermetically sealed glass envelope designed for reliability and precision. With five distinct surface mount lead designs, these switches offer enhanced flexibility for various PCB layouts and applications.
Magnetically actuated, these reed switches are ideal for both switching and sensing functions across a wide range of industries, from automotive and medical to industrial and consumer electronics.
We offer nine different switch models, with glass lengths starting as small as 7 mm, and a variety of switching configurations. Choose from power ratings up to 100 W and switching voltages reaching 1,000 VDC, tailored to meet your specific performance requirements.
For streamlined manufacturing, our SMD reed switches are typically supplied in tape and reel packaging per IEC 286/Part 3, making them compatible with automatic pick-and-place equipment.
Threaded Housing Position Sensors offer a rugged and easily adjustable solution for detecting position, proximity, or motion in a wide range of applications. Available with reed switch or Hall effect technology, these sensors are housed in cylindrical threaded enclosures, typically plastic, stainless steel, or brass, for secure mounting and customizable sensing gaps. Their non-contact operation ensures long-term reliability and resistance to shock, vibration, and harsh environments. Ideal for use in automation, transportation, medical devices, and industrial machinery, these sensors support various output types and connection styles for seamless integration.
Threaded housing sensors allow precise positioning and easy installation using lock nuts. Suitable for both Reed and Hall effect technologies, they are ideal for applications requiring adjustable sensing gaps.
Ultra-Compact Reed Switches for Precision Electronics
The ultraminiature reed switch series offers some of the smallest magnetic switching solutions available, with glass body lengths starting at just 3.95 mm. These switches are engineered for precision and reliability in space-constrained environments, making them ideal for miniaturized electronics and high-density circuit designs.
Despite their compact size, these switches maintain strong electrical performance thanks to advanced contact materials and hermetically sealed construction. Their flat lead design supports automated assembly processes such as surface mounting and tape-and-reel packaging, enabling efficient integration into high-volume production lines.
Commonly used in semiconductor testing, medical devices, telecommunications, security systems, and automotive electronics, these switches provide dependable magnetic actuation in applications where size, sensitivity, and durability are critical.
Ultraminiature reed relays are engineered for high-density, low-profile applications where space and performance are critical. With package heights as low as 3.4 mm and footprints under 8 mm, these instrumentation-grade relays are among the smallest in the industry. Ideal for tightly stacked matrices and compact PCB layouts, they offer high insulation resistance, low contact resistance, and reliable switching for billions of operations.
Discover reed relays engineered with specialized features to meet demanding application needs. These relays offer benefits such as ultra-low power consumption, latching functionality, high insulation resistance, and other advanced capabilities tailored for precision, reliability, and space-saving designs.
Reliable and compact, our vertical mount liquid level sensors are designed for precise fluid detection in tight spaces. Ideal for industrial, medical, and automotive applications, these sensors offer customizable configurations to meet specific performance needs. Explore durable solutions for accurate level monitoring.
