Ultra-Compact Reed Switches for Precision Electronics
The ultraminiature reed switch series offers some of the smallest magnetic switching solutions available, with glass body lengths starting at just 3.95 mm. These switches are engineered for precision and reliability in space-constrained environments, making them ideal for miniaturized electronics and high-density circuit designs.
Despite their compact size, these switches maintain strong electrical performance thanks to advanced contact materials and hermetically sealed construction. Their flat lead design supports automated assembly processes such as surface mounting and tape-and-reel packaging, enabling efficient integration into high-volume production lines.
Commonly used in semiconductor testing, medical devices, telecommunications, security systems, and automotive electronics, these switches provide dependable magnetic actuation in applications where size, sensitivity, and durability are critical.
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.
