Ultra-Compact Reed Switches for Precision Electronics
The ultraminiature reed switch series offers some of the smallest magnetic switching solutions available, with glass body lengths starting at just 3.95 mm. These switches are engineered for precision and reliability in space-constrained environments, making them ideal for miniaturized electronics and high-density circuit designs.
Despite their compact size, these switches maintain strong electrical performance thanks to advanced contact materials and hermetically sealed construction. Their flat lead design supports automated assembly processes such as surface mounting and tape-and-reel packaging, enabling efficient integration into high-volume production lines.
Commonly used in semiconductor testing, medical devices, telecommunications, security systems, and automotive electronics, these switches provide dependable magnetic actuation in applications where size, sensitivity, and durability are critical.
Our Packaged Magnet portfolio features precision-engineered magnets housed in durable enclosures for seamless integration with reed and Hall effect sensors. Designed to simplify installation and enhance magnetic performance, these assemblies offer consistent field strength, mechanical protection, and optimized alignment for sensing applications. Ideal for automotive, industrial, and medical environments, our packaged magnets ensure reliable actuation and long-term durability in demanding conditions.
Threaded housing sensors allow precise positioning and easy installation using lock nuts. Suitable for both Reed and Hall effect technologies, they are ideal for applications requiring adjustable sensing gaps.
- High power density / low ripple and noise
- High programming resolution with Ethernet interface
- Constant voltage and current mode
- Remote sensing
- Isolated analog control and monitoring (optional)
These sensors detect the presence or movement of a magnet, enabling precise position or proximity monitoring. Available in Reed or Hall effect versions, they are used in medical, industrial, and consumer devices.
Single point liquid level sensors are designed to detect fluid at a specific level, typically a critical high or low point. These sensors use a single magnetic float and reed switch to provide a simple, reliable signal when the fluid reaches the designated level.
Available in vertical or horizontal mounting styles, these sensors are ideal for compact installations and are commonly used in tanks, reservoirs, and molded containers. They operate with minimal power consumption and offer high durability, with options for high-temperature resistance, IP-rated sealing, and high-power switching.
Their customizable design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of integration make them a dependable solution for fluid level monitoring across a wide range of industries.
- Measuring device to detect the twist/lay/pitch length of sheathed cables
- Measurements according to the standards LV212 und LV122
- The twist length of the sample is measured without removing the sheath → this ensures a precise measurement
- Traditional methods manipulate the sample (cable stripping or unwinding of conductors) → a precise measurement is not possible anymore
- Via a PC connection, the measuring results can directly be exported
- Fully automatic: By clicking one button, the measuring sensor automatically moves along the sample
Surface-Mount Device (SMD) Photo-MOSFET relays optimized for automated assembly and compact designs. These relays provide high performance in signal integrity and are ideal for consumer electronics and instrumentation.
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.
Custom solutions are also available to meet specific design requirements.
