Standex Electronics offers the most comprehensive listing of magnetic reed switches that cover the majority of low power switching requirements. Standex is the world’s largest producer of reed switches and come in low to high voltages for every application. Reed switches have unique switching capabilities making them an ideal choice.
Standex offers a magnetic reed switch where the overall glass length is only 3.95mm long, which is the smallest in the industry. The small size allows for new uses in applications like RF switching and medical applications. Hermetically sealed reed switches, which are glass-to-metal, enclose two ferromagnetic reeds in a glass envelope and protect them for the outside environment. This design allows the reed switches to operate in the harshest conditions.
Standex Electronics rigorously tests each reed switch to ensure the quality of our manufacturing processes and resulting products.
