Specifications
- Reed Switch Sensor Reed Sensor Magneto Magnet Magnetic Switch Normally Close
- The reed switch is an electrical switch operated by an applied magnetic field. Reed Switch Sensor Reed Sensor Magneto Magnet Magnetic Switch.
- This is a small device called a reed switch. When the device is exposed to a magnetic field, the two ferrous materials 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. This switch can carry up to 1.2A.
- Reed switches come in two main varieties called normally open (normally switched off) and normally closed (normally switched on). The key to understanding how they work is to realize that they don’t just work as an electrical bridge but as a magnetic one as well: magnetism flows through them as well as electricity.
- Take the magnet away and the contacts—made from fairly stiff and springy metal—push apart again and return back to their original positions.
- In these two artworks, I’ve massively exaggerated the movement of the contacts. Real reed switches have contacts that are only a few microns (millionths of a meter) apart—roughly ten times thinner than a human hair—so the movement isn’t visible to the naked eye. Don’t expect to see the blades moving as you bring your magnet up close!
- Artwork: The key to understanding reed switches is to realize that they are part of a magnetic circuit, as well as an electrical one: the magnetic field from the bar magnet is carried through the reed switch. That’s what makes it close—and that’s what allows electricity to flow through it. Magnetic field artwork sourced from Wikimedia Commons .
