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.

Reliable Switching in a Small Footprint

The miniature reed switch series features compact, power-efficient magnetic switches with glass body lengths ranging from 9 to 14 mm. Designed for precision and versatility, these switches operate with no power consumption in their normally open state, making them ideal for energy-sensitive applications.

Available in a wide range of switching characteristics, including close differential, high current, mercury wetted, high-performance, and SPDT (changeover) configurations, this series supports diverse design requirements across industries. Their small footprint makes them especially valuable in miniaturized systems such as semiconductor testing equipment and medical devices, while also serving critical roles in telecommunications, security, automotive, appliances, and industrial automation.

The brand new Linea2 family takes your system to the new level with impressive performance and value, offering 5x the bandwidth of our Linea family with a 5GigE interface. The Linea2 line scan cameras are powered by our very own Teledyne quadlinear sensor, extending detection capability using RGB + NIR multispectral imaging technology.

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.

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.

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.

Reed Relay Modules integrate multiple high-performance reed relays into compact, ready-to-use packages for efficient signal switching in space-constrained designs. Available in 8-channel configurations, these modules simplify circuit design by combining switching functionality with integrated driver electronics and advanced packaging.

The RM05-8A-SP Series features an 8-pole relay configuration housed in a dual-in-line through-hole package, equipped with MAX4823 integrated drivers and kickback protection—eliminating the need for external activation circuitry and reducing PCB footprint.

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.
