Threaded Housing Position Sensors offer a rugged and easily adjustable solution for detecting position, proximity, or motion in a wide range of applications. Available with reed switch or Hall effect technology, these sensors are housed in cylindrical threaded enclosures, typically plastic, stainless steel, or brass, for secure mounting and customizable sensing gaps. Their non-contact operation ensures long-term reliability and resistance to shock, vibration, and harsh environments. Ideal for use in automation, transportation, medical devices, and industrial machinery, these sensors support various output types and connection styles for seamless integration.
High density matrix reed relays are designed for ultra-compact, high-channel-count applications where space efficiency and performance are critical. With footprints as small as 4.35 × 4.35 mm, these relays enable dense relay arrays, up to 1000 relays on a 12” board, ideal for IC wafer testing, functional PCB test systems, and data acquisition platforms. Featuring low power consumption, fast switching speeds, and optional shielding configurations, they offer reliable performance in demanding environments. Their modular design supports vertical and horizontal stacking, making them a versatile solution for high-density signal routing and matrix switching.
Exterior Bottle Mount Liquid Level Sensors offer a reliable and hygienic solution for monitoring fluid levels in sealed or transparent containers. These sensors attach externally, eliminating the need for direct contact with the fluid, ideal for applications where contamination, leakage, or internal access is a concern. With flexible integration options and compatibility across various container materials, they are well-suited for use in medical devices, laboratory equipment, food processing systems, and industrial fluid management. Their non-intrusive design ensures easy installation and maintenance while delivering consistent performance.
Engineered to complement our sensor series, these magnets ensure optimal alignment, activation, and performance. Available in various shapes and magnetic strengths, they simplify integration and enhance reliability across sensing applications in automotive, industrial, and medical environments.
Intrinsically safe reed relays and optocouplers are engineered for use in hazardous environments where ignition prevention is critical. Certified to ATEX standards and tested to ensure they do not become ignition sources, even in the presence of short circuits or adjacent component failures—these components are ideal for applications in explosive atmospheres such as mining, chemical processing, refineries, and power stations.
Designed to meet EN50020 safety standards, these relays and optocouplers feature tightly controlled air and creepage paths, high dielectric strength, and low-voltage coil inputs. With a maximum peak voltage of 375 V across input and output, and isolation distances up to 10 mm, they ensure safe operation under overload conditions. The Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) of the plastics used exceeds 175, and internal potting compounds provide additional insulation for long-term reliability.
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.
