Standex Detect - Magnetic Floats
Magnetic Float NBR or Nitrile Butadiene Rubber floats have excellent resistance to petroleum-derived liquids such as oil and gasoline and can be used in high temperature applications as well. Magnetic Float PA or Polyamide floats are made of nylon, have a very high strength-to-weight ratio making them shock and abrasion resistant, enduring a pressure of 5 bar (73 PSI or 0.5 MPa). Magnetic Float PP (polypropylene) are rugged, highly resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids and have a water absorption of only 0.1%. V2A Floats are made of rust-proof stainless steel and are resistant to high temperatures making them ideal for the Food & Beverage industry among others.

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.
ULTRA UH series polypropylene based hybrid electromagnetic EMC absorbers are the latest technology for EMC/RF test applications.
The polypropylene material has a highly uniform carbon density throughout the material, which provides for more predictable results with no discontinuities.
Its unique technology is a critical factor in achieving the highest electromagnetic reflectivity performance in an MVG EMC anechoic chamber.
Cylindrical proximity sensors are housed in round enclosures for easy mounting in tight or standardized spaces. Available with Reed or Hall effect technology, they provide reliable detection of magnetic or metallic targets.
The Broadband sleeve antenna was developed to efficiently perform proximity radiation immunity testing.
The international standards ISO11451-3/ISO11452-9 stipulate proximity radiation immunity testing methods that assume electromagnetic interference when wireless transmitters such as smartphones and Wi-Fi devices are placed in close proximity to other electronic devices.
This product is a small, lightweight, high-gain antenna used in these standards that covers a wide bandwidth and has good radiation characteristics. Since it can be used in the wide band from 5GHz to 8GHz, it can be used to perform proximity radiation immunity testing assuming wireless LAN in the 6GHz band (up to 7.125GHz).
