Reed Switches - Reed Switch Components
Standex Electronics produces a broad range of magnetic reed switches which are RoHS complaint - and many are UL recognized. From dry circuit switching to 70VA, from switching microvolt levels to switching 1,000 VDC, these switches are capable of tens of millions of trouble-free switching cycles. Our unique, patented, and highly automated production process allows us to produce very cost-effective switches with outstanding physical and electrical characteristics. In fact, our GR150 is the world's smallest magnetic reed switch.
Traditional, surface mount and overmolded versions are ideal for use within:
- Proximity sensors
- Fluid level sensors
- Reed relays
- Medical devices such as hearing aids and pill-shaped cameras
- Consumer appliance
- Commercial and industrial equipment
Custom Options
Custom lead forming and cutting
- Standex Electronics reed switches may be custom modified for your specific needs
