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.
High Power Magnetic Switching for Demanding Applications
The high-power reed switch series offers robust magnetic switching solutions capable of handling up to 120 W and voltages as high as 1,000 VDC. Designed for demanding applications, these reed switches are available in various sizes starting from 14 mm, including surface mount and through-hole options for flexible integration.
These switches are ideal for proximity, position, motion, and end-limit sensing, and can also be packaged into high power reed relays for enhanced durability and simplified PCB mounting. Relay packaging supports both pick-and-place automation and high insulation resistance, with some models exceeding 10¹³ Ohms.
Popular series such as KT, SHV, LI, and BE offer a range of contact configurations, including SPST, SPDT, and multi-switch designs. Whether used in automotive systems or test and measurement equipment, these high-power reed switches deliver reliable performance where high voltage and current demands are critical.
Custom solutions are also available to meet specific design requirements.
- The BX2 Series of edge-lit backlights provides a highly diffuse source of illumination, packed within a thin and thermally efficient housing.
- The BX2 allows for configuration with polarization or collimation. A backlight configured with collimation is best suited for applications requiring a higher degree of edge clarity when imaging object silhouettes.
- This second edition of our edge-lit backlight series is more than twice as bright as previous BX and CX models.
- As with most planar backlight designs, this product is useful for edge detection, part location & orientation identification, presence & absence, hole detection and object gauging.
Dual In-line Package (DIP) Photo-MOSFET relays offering easy through-hole mounting and robust performance. Commonly used in industrial control, security systems, and test equipment.
ATEX and IECEx certified optocouplers are designed for use in intrinsically safe circuits within hazardous environments. These solid-state devices provide galvanic isolation and signal transmission without becoming ignition sources, even under fault conditions. Ideal for industries such as oil & gas, mining, and energy, they offer high isolation resistance, fast switching, and long operational life in compact, rugged packages.
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.
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.
