Standex Detect - Intrinsically Safe Relays
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.
More Product Information
Cylindrical proximity sensors are housed in round enclosures for easy mounting in tight or standardized spaces. Available with Reed or Hall effect technology, they provide reliable detection of magnetic or metallic targets.
Flange and screw mount position sensors offer a durable, fixed-installation solution for detecting position, proximity, or motion in demanding environments. Available with reed switch or Hall effect technology, these sensors are housed in rugged rectangular or cylindrical enclosures with integrated mounting flanges or screw holes for easy alignment and installation. They support a wide range of electrical configurations and are ideal for applications in automation, transportation, medical devices, and industrial equipment. Their robust design ensures long-term performance in high-vibration, high-temperature, or outdoor conditions.
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.
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.

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.
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.

- Measuring device to detect the twist/lay/pitch length of sheathed cables
- Measurements according to the standards LV212 und LV122
- The twist length of the sample is measured without removing the sheath → this ensures a precise measurement
- Traditional methods manipulate the sample (cable stripping or unwinding of conductors) → a precise measurement is not possible anymore
- Via a PC connection, the measuring results can directly be exported
- Fully automatic: By clicking one button, the measuring sensor automatically moves along the sample
