More Product Information
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.
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.
These sensors detect the presence or movement of a magnet, enabling precise position or proximity monitoring. Available in Reed or Hall effect versions, they are used in medical, industrial, and consumer devices.

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.
High insulation resistance reed relays are designed for ultra-low leakage current performance, making them ideal for precision applications where signal integrity and isolation are critical. Engineered with specialized materials, extended creepage distances, and optimized internal geometry, these relays achieve insulation resistance levels up to 100 tera-ohms (TΩ) and in some cases, even 1,000 TΩ resulting in leakage currents in the picoampere range or lower.
These relays are available in configurations that support switching voltages up to 1,000 VDC and breakdown voltages up to 4,500 VDC, with custom options reaching 10,000 VDC switching and 15,000 VDC breakdown. Their high isolation and dielectric strength make them ideal for automated test equipment (ATE), semiconductor testing, and precision measurement systems where even the smallest leakage can impact results.
Compact, reliable, and built for demanding environments, High Insulation Resistance reed relays offer unmatched performance in high-voltage, low-leakage applications.
Exterior Bottle Mount Liquid Level Sensors offer a reliable and hygienic solution for monitoring fluid levels in sealed or transparent containers. These sensors attach externally, eliminating the need for direct contact with the fluid, ideal for applications where contamination, leakage, or internal access is a concern. With flexible integration options and compatibility across various container materials, they are well-suited for use in medical devices, laboratory equipment, food processing systems, and industrial fluid management. Their non-intrusive design ensures easy installation and maintenance while delivering consistent performance.
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.
