Standex Detect - Ultraminiature Reed Switches (<8mm)
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.
More Product Information
Flange and screw mount position sensors offer a durable, fixed-installation solution for detecting position, proximity, or motion in demanding environments. Available with reed switch or Hall effect technology, these sensors are housed in rugged rectangular or cylindrical enclosures with integrated mounting flanges or screw holes for easy alignment and installation. They support a wide range of electrical configurations and are ideal for applications in automation, transportation, medical devices, and industrial equipment. Their robust design ensures long-term performance in high-vibration, high-temperature, or outdoor conditions.
Side Mount Liquid Level Sensors offer robust and versatile solutions for accurate fluid level monitoring. Designed with flexible mounting options, including external/internal threads and grommet inserts, these sensors feature separate float/sensor designs to minimize leak paths. Ideal for automotive, industrial, and medical applications, they support both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) configurations, with power options up to 100W. Integration is simplified with cable harnesses and connector options, making them a trusted choice for OEMs and Tier 1 platforms.
Reed proximity sensors use a magnetically activated Reed switch to detect nearby objects. They offer low power consumption, long life, and are ideal for applications requiring precise, contactless switching in compact spaces.
