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
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.
Reliable Break-Before-Make Switching with Form C Reed Technology
Changeover reed switches, also known as Form C or SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switches, feature three contact leads and operate with a break-before-make switching sequence. This means one contact disconnects before the other connects, ensuring clean signal transitions and reducing the risk of short circuits.
Changeover reed switches are ideal for applications requiring reliable switching between two circuits, such as signal routing, sensor feedback, and control logic.
These switches can be integrated into standard sensors and reed relay assemblies, and custom configurations are available to meet specific design requirements.
Gear detection speed sensors are dynamic, non-contact devices designed to monitor the speed, position, and direction of rotating ferrous components such as gears, shafts, and bolts. Utilizing solid-state Hall effect technology, these sensors offer near-zero speed detection, high repeatability, and long-term durability in harsh environments. With self-calibrating outputs and compatibility across various gear pitches and target shapes, they are ideal for automotive, industrial, and agricultural applications. Available in multiple housing styles and connection types, these sensors provide flexible integration for speed measurement, RPM monitoring, and component counting.
Ultraminiature reed relays are engineered for high-density, low-profile applications where space and performance are critical. With package heights as low as 3.4 mm and footprints under 8 mm, these instrumentation-grade relays are among the smallest in the industry. Ideal for tightly stacked matrices and compact PCB layouts, they offer high insulation resistance, low contact resistance, and reliable switching for billions of operations.
Reed Relay Modules integrate multiple high-performance reed relays into compact, ready-to-use packages for efficient signal switching in space-constrained designs. Available in 8-channel configurations, these modules simplify circuit design by combining switching functionality with integrated driver electronics and advanced packaging.
The RM05-8A-SP Series features an 8-pole relay configuration housed in a dual-in-line through-hole package, equipped with MAX4823 integrated drivers and kickback protection—eliminating the need for external activation circuitry and reducing PCB footprint.
