The simplest reed switch consists of two thin, ferromagnetic contacts suspended axially inside a glass tube. The tube is filled with an inert gas, usually nitrogen, and hermetically sealed at the ...

[Lucid Science] shows us how to make some simple reed switches. Reed switches are simple components that detect a magnetic field and can close or open a circuit once detected. While not really a ...

Reed switches are magnetically actuated switches. They are typically manufactured with two ferromagnetic reeds (contact blades), which are sealed in a glass capsule. In the presence of a magnet, the ...

Reed relays are electromechanical devices that operate using one or more reed switches. Reed relays are electromechanical relays that consist of a reed switch wrapped in a metal coil. They are ...

Pickering Electronics has introduced its latest high-density reed relay, the Series 125. The series is said to be the ...

Pickering’s new Series 125 delivers the industry’s smallest DPST reed relay, switching up to 1 Amp, 20 Watts on compact 5mm 2 ...
