2*10 MM MAGNETIC REED SWITCH

Description:

• Basic Function:
  • It consists of two ferromagnetic reeds (thin, flexible metal strips) sealed within a glass tube.   
  • When a magnetic field is brought near the switch, the reeds are attracted to each other, closing the electrical circuit.   
  • When the magnetic field is removed, the reeds spring back to their original position, opening the circuit.   
• Size:
  • The "2x10mm" designation refers to its approximate dimensions, indicating a very compact size.

Key Features:

• Non-Contact Switching:
  • Activation occurs without physical contact, enhancing durability and reducing wear.
• Hermetically Sealed:
  • The glass enclosure protects the reeds from environmental factors like dust and moisture, improving reliability.   
• Fast Switching Speed:
  • Reed switches can operate relatively quickly.
• Low Power Consumption:
  • They require minimal power to operate.
• Long Lifespan:
  • Because of the lack of physical contact during switching, reed switches can have a very long operational life.   
• Simple structure:
  • The simple design makes them reliable.

Applications:

• Security Systems:
  • Used in door and window sensors to detect openings.   
• Automotive Industry:
  • Used in various sensors, such as position and level sensors.   
• Appliances:
  • Used in liquid level detection and other sensing applications.
• Industrial Automation:
  • Used in proximity sensing and control systems.   
• Electronics:
  • Used in various electronic devices that require magnetic sensing.
• Medical Equipment:
  • Due to their reliability, they are used in some medical devices.   

Specifications (General):

• Contact Type:
  • Typically Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC).   
• Switching Voltage/Current:
  • Varies depending on the specific switch.
• Operating Temperature:
  • A range of temperatures the switch can operate within.
• Operating Magnetic Field:
  • The strength of the magnetic field required for activation.
• Dimensions:
  • Such as the 2mm diameter, and 10mm length.
