• The BX2 Series of edge-lit backlights provides a highly diffuse source of illumination, packed within a thin and thermally efficient housing.
• The BX2 allows for configuration with polarization or collimation. A backlight configured with collimation is best suited for applications requiring a higher degree of edge clarity when imaging object silhouettes.
• This second edition of our edge-lit backlight series is more than twice as bright as previous BX and CX models.
• As with most planar backlight designs, this product is useful for edge detection, part location & orientation identification, presence & absence, hole detection and object gauging.

Reed liquid level sensors use magnetic floats and reed switch technology to detect fluid levels. As the float moves with the liquid, it activates reed switches housed within a stem, providing a reliable on/off signal or triggering multiple level points. These sensors are highly energy-efficient, drawing no power until activated, making them ideal for battery-powered or low-energy applications.

They are available in vertical or horizontal mount configurations and can be customized for various fluid types, temperatures, and pressures. With options for stainless steel or plastic housings, reed sensors offer a simple, cost-effective solution for fluid level monitoring in automotive, industrial, HVAC, and appliance systems.

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.

High frequency reed relays are engineered for precision signal switching from DC up to 8 GHz, making them ideal for RF, microwave, and high-speed digital applications. These relays feature ultra-short signal paths and internal coaxial shielding with consistent 50 Ohm impedance, ensuring minimal insertion loss and excellent signal integrity. With rise times under 40 picoseconds and low contact resistance, they support fast pulse switching and high isolation in compact designs. Available in surface-mount packages with advanced shielding, they are optimized for automated test equipment, wireless systems, and high-frequency PCB layouts.

Specialized relays for ultra-high voltage applications exceeding 1.5kV. Ideal for isolation in medical devices, renewable energy systems, and advanced industrial equipment.
