Standex Detect - Hall Effect Proximity Sensors
Hall effect proximity sensors detect magnetic fields and convert them into electrical signals. They offer high accuracy, durability, and are suitable for linear or angular position sensing in dynamic environments.
More Product Information
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.
Side Mount Liquid Level Sensors offer robust and versatile solutions for accurate fluid level monitoring. Designed with flexible mounting options, including external/internal threads and grommet inserts, these sensors feature separate float/sensor designs to minimize leak paths. Ideal for automotive, industrial, and medical applications, they support both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) configurations, with power options up to 100W. Integration is simplified with cable harnesses and connector options, making them a trusted choice for OEMs and Tier 1 platforms.
The latching / bi-stable (1 Form E) reed switch is a magnetically operated switch designed for ultra-low power applications, particularly in battery-powered and energy-sensitive systems. Unlike traditional reed switches, this bistable variant maintains its contact state, either open or closed, without continuous power, thanks to its dual-magnet latching mechanism.
The switch operates by using two permanent magnets: one partially magnetized to bring the contacts near each other, and a second magnet that controls the contact state by reversing its magnetic field. This design allows the switch to remain in either the normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.) state until actively changed, making it ideal for applications requiring stable switching with minimal energy consumption.
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 proximity sensors use a magnetically activated Reed switch to detect nearby objects. They offer low power consumption, long life, and are ideal for applications requiring precise, contactless switching in compact spaces.
Reliable Break-Before-Make Switching with Form C Reed Technology
Changeover reed switches, also known as Form C or SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switches, feature three contact leads and operate with a break-before-make switching sequence. This means one contact disconnects before the other connects, ensuring clean signal transitions and reducing the risk of short circuits.
Changeover reed switches are ideal for applications requiring reliable switching between two circuits, such as signal routing, sensor feedback, and control logic.
These switches can be integrated into standard sensors and reed relay assemblies, and custom configurations are available to meet specific design requirements.
