More Product Information
Single point liquid level sensors are designed to detect fluid at a specific level, typically a critical high or low point. These sensors use a single magnetic float and reed switch to provide a simple, reliable signal when the fluid reaches the designated level.
Available in vertical or horizontal mounting styles, these sensors are ideal for compact installations and are commonly used in tanks, reservoirs, and molded containers. They operate with minimal power consumption and offer high durability, with options for high-temperature resistance, IP-rated sealing, and high-power switching.
Their customizable design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of integration make them a dependable solution for fluid level monitoring across a wide range of industries.
- High Intensity: up to 9x brighter than the existing SL191 Pattern Projecting Spot Light and more than 3x brighter than the leading competitive structured light projector.
- Projection patterns are easily configured with available reticles, including line, grid, cross, multiple lines, and half sphere, with custom reticles available.
- Customizable: available in multiple wavelengths, including white.
- Constructed with a large heat sink for improved LED thermal management to facilitate increased brightness while maintaining safe operating temperatures.

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.
Reliable Magnetic Switching for High Voltage Applications
The high voltage reed switch series delivers reliable magnetic switching for applications requiring elevated voltage and current handling. Capable of switching up to 10,000 VDC and with breakdown voltages reaching 15,000 VDC, these switches are engineered for high-performance environments such as photovoltaic systems, medical equipment, and automated test systems.
Available in glass body lengths starting at 14 mm, the series includes surface mount (SMD), through-hole, and free-standing options. These reed switches can carry continuous currents up to 15 Amps and pulsed currents up to 30 Amps, making them ideal for proximity, position, motion, and end-limit sensing.
For enhanced durability and simplified integration, these switches can be packaged as high voltage reed relays. Popular relay series such as H, HE, HM, KT, SHV, LI, and BE provide a range of contact configurations and insulation resistance exceeding 10¹³ Ohms, supporting both pick-and-place automation and high-voltage isolation.
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.
High density matrix reed relays are designed for ultra-compact, high-channel-count applications where space efficiency and performance are critical. With footprints as small as 4.35 × 4.35 mm, these relays enable dense relay arrays, up to 1000 relays on a 12” board, ideal for IC wafer testing, functional PCB test systems, and data acquisition platforms. Featuring low power consumption, fast switching speeds, and optional shielding configurations, they offer reliable performance in demanding environments. Their modular design supports vertical and horizontal stacking, making them a versatile solution for high-density signal routing and matrix switching.
Optimized for high-speed signal transmission and minimal signal distortion, these relays feature low off-state capacitance, making them ideal for RF, telecom, and precision measurement applications.
High Power Magnetic Switching for Demanding Applications
The high-power reed switch series offers robust magnetic switching solutions capable of handling up to 120 W and voltages as high as 1,000 VDC. Designed for demanding applications, these reed switches are available in various sizes starting from 14 mm, including surface mount and through-hole options for flexible integration.
These switches are ideal for proximity, position, motion, and end-limit sensing, and can also be packaged into high power reed relays for enhanced durability and simplified PCB mounting. Relay packaging supports both pick-and-place automation and high insulation resistance, with some models exceeding 10¹³ Ohms.
Popular series such as KT, SHV, LI, and BE offer a range of contact configurations, including SPST, SPDT, and multi-switch designs. Whether used in automotive systems or test and measurement equipment, these high-power reed switches deliver reliable performance where high voltage and current demands are critical.
Custom solutions are also available to meet specific design requirements.
