Metal detection sensors identify the presence of steel or other ferrous materials. They are used in automation, safety, and machinery applications where reliable detection of metal components is essential.

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.

• The DF241 is characterized as a Small Low Angle Dark Field ring light. 
• Precisely aimed LEDs provide a very low angle of incidence, radial illumination pattern. 
• A scratch on a sheet of glass is a good example of a defect that can be detected with a low-angle dark field illuminator. 
• With a light intensity of 24kLux at a working distance of ½” (12.5mm), the DF241 is perfect for imaging problems limited to a small field of view. 
• A 25mm field of view is standard with an optional field of view of 35mm. 
• Available in a range of wavelengths from UV to IR.
