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.

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.
