Low thermal reed relays are designed to switch microvolt-level signals without introducing thermal offsets or signal distortion. Ideal for use in transducers, high-end multimeters, thermocouple switching, and data acquisition systems, these relays ensure accurate signal integrity in temperature measurement and logging applications. Their low offset voltage performance makes them a superior alternative to semiconductor relays in precision environments.
Threaded Housing Position Sensors offer a rugged and easily adjustable solution for detecting position, proximity, or motion in a wide range of applications. Available with reed switch or Hall effect technology, these sensors are housed in cylindrical threaded enclosures, typically plastic, stainless steel, or brass, for secure mounting and customizable sensing gaps. Their non-contact operation ensures long-term reliability and resistance to shock, vibration, and harsh environments. Ideal for use in automation, transportation, medical devices, and industrial machinery, these sensors support various output types and connection styles for seamless integration.

Magnetic Float NBR or Nitrile Butadiene Rubber floats have excellent resistance to petroleum-derived liquids such as oil and gasoline and can be used in high temperature applications as well. Magnetic Float PA or Polyamide floats are made of nylon, have a very high strength-to-weight ratio making them shock and abrasion resistant, enduring a pressure of 5 bar (73 PSI or 0.5 MPa). Magnetic Float PP (polypropylene) are rugged, highly resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids and have a water absorption of only 0.1%. V2A Floats are made of rust-proof stainless steel and are resistant to high temperatures making them ideal for the Food & Beverage industry among others.
General purpose reed relays offer reliable and flexible switching solutions for a wide range of applications across industries such as automated test equipment (ATE), medical devices, industrial systems, and telecommunications. Built around high-quality reed switches capable of billions of operations (load dependent), these relays deliver consistent performance in both low and moderate power environments.
Available in multiple sizes and configurations, including single and multi-switch designs, these relays support SPST, SPDT, and latching contact forms. Popular models feature dual-in-line (DIL/DIP) pin-outs, low-profile options, and high insulation resistance versions up to 10¹³ ohms, making them suitable for compact PCB layouts and high-isolation requirements. Whether you need a single relay or a multi-channel solution, these relays provide dependable switching in versatile formats.
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.
