Reed Switch N.O. & N.C. SPDT - (AD41203)

Description:

A reed switch is an electrical switch actuated by a magnetic field. When the contacts are normally open, they close in the presence of a magnetic field; when they are normally closed, they open in the presence of a magnetic field.

The reed switch consists of a pair of ferrous contacts enclosed in a vacuum inside a glass tube. Each contact is sealed at opposite ends of the glass tube. The glass tube can be about 10 mm long and 3 mm in diameter.

When approaching a magnetic field, the contacts join, closing an electrical circuit. The rigidity of the contacts will cause them to separate when the magnetic field disappears. To ensure durability, the tip of the contacts is plated with a precious metal.
