What are magnetic reed switches?
Magnetic reed switches are simple, yet highly reliable electrical switches that open or close a circuit in response to the presence of a magnetic field. They consist of two thin metal reeds sealed inside a glass tube filled with inert gas. When a magnet comes close, the reeds either come together (normally open type) or separate (normally closed type), completing or breaking an electrical connection.
- Operate with the presence of a magnetic field
- Provide contactless, wear-free switching
- Compact and easy to install
- Require no external power for operation
- Used in automation, security, electronics, and more
The Science Behind magnetic reed switches?
Magnetic reed switches operate on the principles of electromagnetism and ferromagnetism. At the core of a reed switch are two thin ferromagnetic metal strips (called “reeds”) sealed inside a small, airtight glass tube filled with an inert gas (typically nitrogen). These reeds are positioned so that their free ends overlap slightly but do not touch unless influenced by a magnetic field.
