Incorporating A Reed Switch into Your Subassembly

Benefits of Incorporating a Reed Switch into Your Sub assembly

​

There are many benefits of incorporating a reed switch into your sub assembly. Magnetic-based reed switches serve as a cost-effective, reliable means of sensing, switching and actuation. They are often used as an alternative to larger and traditional, bulky and more costly magnetic switches, without compromising performance.  These include, but are not limited to:

• Cost Savings

  • Integration of high-reliability technology at a lower price power

  • Lower total overall cost of ownership, over traditional electromagnetic switches

• Reliability

  • Zero power consumption requirements

• Long useful service life

  • Rated for millions of operational cycles

  • May be effectively used within remotely installed components, machinery and equipment

  • Relatively insensitive to temperature extremes

  • Small form factor for ease of installation within space constrained environments

• Versatility

  • One inventory part number may be used to support multiple subassemblies, applications and markets

  • Low profile design allows reed switches to be integrated into finished product designs with no added mass

  • Ease of integration into various complex geometries, slots and internal housings

  • May be specified as bare reeds, switches, sensors or actuators, or as a combined unit, to suit any requirement
