Production Description
Operating Principle
When a magnetic field is brought near the reed switch, the reeds either come together (closing the circuit) or move apart (opening the circuit), depending on the switch type (normally open or normally closed).
Components
Reed Switch: The main component consisting of two ferromagnetic blades (reeds) hermetically sealed in a glass envelope.
Magnet: The external component that actuates the switch.
Types
Normally Open (NO): The switch remains open until a magnetic field is applied.
Normally Closed (NC): The switch remains closed until a magnetic field is applied.
Form C(Changeover): A three-terminal device where one terminal is common, and the other two terminals switch between normally closed and normally open states.
