LilyPad Reed Switch [DEV-13343] - (AD9639)

Description:

The LilyPad Reed Switch is a simple switch on a breakout that will make it easy to use in e-textile circuits in exactly the same way you can currently use the LilyPad Button and Switch. In order to make it more robust for wearable use, we’ve used a different style of reed switch, which is insulated. This means the actual glass switch is encased in black plastic, making it much harder to break, but it works in exactly the same way.

A reed switch is a simple mechanical switch that is actuated by a magnet. When the device is exposed to a magnetic field, the two ferrous materials (reeds) inside the switch pull together, and the switch closes. When the magnetic field is removed, the reeds separate and the switch opens. This makes for a great non-contact switch that can carry up to 1A and 0.25A while switching.
