Reed Switches - Reed Switch Components
Standex Electronics produces a broad range of magnetic reed switches which are RoHS compliant - 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
Reed Switch Flyer
Standex-Meder is a world leader in the design, development and manufacture of magnetic Reed Switches that cover the majority of low power switching requirements. Our product line is the broadest in the industry and includes the smallest reed switch ever produced - with a glass length of just 3.7 mm. From dry circuit switching to 70VA, from switching microvolt levels to switching 1,000 VDC our broad range of switches will handle most applications.
