The Standex-Meder Electronics MK Series Reed Sensors offer sensing solutions with the lowest possible cost, highest reliability, and with the least possible energy consumption. The MK Series Reed Sensors are a suitable alternative to inductive sensors. It uses the simple and cost effective reed switch for diversity in application use. The Standex-Meder Electronics MK Series Reed Sensors are available in a vast array of power configurations and mounting styles.

MEDER electronic Inc., manufacturer of precise, reliable, and long-lasting miniature switches, sensors and relays, announces the availability of the MK23 Series of non-molded, magnetically operated, open reed proximity switches developed specifically for surface mounting (SMD). These versatile, low-cost reed switches are ideal for a range of applications that require little or no external power to operate, including household appliances, security systems, medical equipment, computer, and automotive.
The MK23 SMD Reed Switches are offered for different pad layouts and come in a range of glass size, power, switching voltage, switching current, and breakdown voltages. They offer a more economic and compact design than over-molded sensors and can be designed into any application where single or multi-point position or liquid level sensing is required.
