Reed position sensors offer a versatile and contactless solution for detecting movement and position using magnetic fields. Built around a reed switch mechanism, these sensors operate by opening or closing in response to a nearby magnet, enabling precise and repeatable switching. Available in a wide range of sizes, mounting styles, and electrical configurations, they are ideal for applications in industrial automation, medical devices, fluid level monitoring, and consumer electronics. Their solid-state design ensures long operational life, resistance to shock and vibration, and compatibility with low-voltage systems.
The high frequency reed switch series is engineered for precision switching in RF and high-speed digital applications. These switches are optimized to handle signals from DC up to 7 GHz, making them ideal for use in telecommunications, computing, and advanced test equipment.
With nickel/iron leads offering high magnetic permeability, these reed switches deliver exceptional linearity across a broad frequency spectrum. Their compact form factor allows for high-density PCB mounting, and internal shielding ensures minimal electromagnetic interference, even in tightly stacked configurations.
These switches are commonly integrated into high-frequency reed relays for enhanced durability and performance.
Intrinsically safe reed relays and optocouplers are engineered for use in hazardous environments where ignition prevention is critical. Certified to ATEX standards and tested to ensure they do not become ignition sources, even in the presence of short circuits or adjacent component failures—these components are ideal for applications in explosive atmospheres such as mining, chemical processing, refineries, and power stations.
Designed to meet EN50020 safety standards, these relays and optocouplers feature tightly controlled air and creepage paths, high dielectric strength, and low-voltage coil inputs. With a maximum peak voltage of 375 V across input and output, and isolation distances up to 10 mm, they ensure safe operation under overload conditions. The Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) of the plastics used exceeds 175, and internal potting compounds provide additional insulation for long-term reliability.
Continuous level sensors provide real-time monitoring across the entire height of a fluid container. These sensors use magnetic reed switches mounted along a PCB, combined with resistors to generate discreet voltage outputs. As a magnetic float moves along the sensor stem, it activates multiple reed switches, enabling precise and uninterrupted tracking of fluid levels. Advanced models like the CLS and HLS series incorporate capacitive or Hall effect technologies for high-resolution, programmable outputs in harsh environments.
