Our work is never done. Passion, respect, integrity and discipline are the
four core values which drive us to sophisticated products and continuous growth
in a globalized world.

For more than 40 years we have been dealing with Reed Switches, Magnets and
the manufacturing of high quality customized sensor solutions based on Reed-
and Hall-Technology.

More than 300 employees – all of them experts in their special trade – are working
in our headquarters in Germany, sales offices in Asia and Europe and our two own
production facilities in China and Turkey.

With these three factors: people, knowledge and own manufacturing we make sure
to be your reliable partner for Sensor Technology – today and tomorrow!

Innovation
Modern machinery, perfected production concepts, clear
information policy and our comprehensive sensor know-how
secure our premier position in the industry.

Quality
Continuous optimization in the areas of research, development,
production, service and marketing assure high standards in product
quality.

Sustainability
Sustainability is an essential part of our philosophy. Careful use of resour-
ces and environmental compatibility starts long before production and does
not finish at sale. We remain true to this principle with regard to social and
economic aspects.

Reed Switches

[Also known as Reed Contacts or Magnetic Contacts. Electromechanical,


hermetically sealed components which close or open a circuit through
actuation by a magnetic field.]
6 Reed Switches

Basics

D i f f e re n t f o r m s

Form A
AA
Normally open, Reed Switch will close contact in presence of a magnet.

NO
B1
B1 COM
NC Form B
Normally closed. Either achieved by using a Form C switch with the NO wire
N
cut off or by using an attached magnet (requires pole oriented actuation).
B2
B2

Form C
NO
CC COM Change over, Reed Switch will change from NC to NO contact in presence
NC of a magnet.

N Form E
EE Latching type. Switching status remains stable after a magnetic field
disappears until a magnet with opposite polarity approaches.

How does a Reed Switch work?

OFF ON

A Reed Switch consists of a pair S


S N
of ferromagnetic reeds, hermetically sealed N
in a glass tube. Their free ends overlap
at a very small distance.
N S

Benefits

  No power supply required   Various methods of actuation possible


  Contacts hermetically sealed   Magnetic and electrical pole independent
  Most economic non-touch switching solution  Non-touch actuation permits smooth surfaces and
  Not ESD sensitive modern design
  Various sensitivity ranges available

Reed Sensors

[Reed Switches with housing; simplified assembly, improved


mechachincal protection; actuation similar to a Reed Switch; existing
in various forms (with cable / with connector / THT versions).]
Reed Sensors 17

Basics

How does a Reed Sensor work?

OFF ON

A Reed Sensor incorporates a Reed Switch Magnet


inside a metal or plastic housing for better
mechanical protection and easier mounting.
Actuation principles for Reed Switches also Magnet
apply to Reed Sensors.
Sensor Sensor

Benefits

  Mechanically protected   Not ESD sensitive


  Wide range of housing types available  Non-touch actuation permits smooth surfaces and
  No power supply required modern design
  Various sensitivity ranges available

Magnets

[Material with magnetic properties; used for Reed Switch and Hall-Sensor
actuation; magnetic material is matched to specific usage scenarios;
can also be provided in housings.]
32 Magnets

Basics

How does a Magnet work?

A Magnet creates a magnetic field that pulls on other magnetic


materials like iron. After their magnetization permanent magnets keep
their magnetic characteristics for a very long time.
Most Reed Sensor applications are operated by permanent magnets.
The most common materials used in these applications are Ferrite,
NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron), SmCo (Samarium-Cobalt) and AlNiCo
(Aluminium-Nickel-Cobalt). We will specify the matching material,
strength and form, according to the operating environment.

Benefits

  Matching magnet for your appplication   Switching component and complementary Magnet
  Magnets with our without housing available   Simple procurement, Plug&Play sensor solutions

Shock Resistance
Generally Reed Switches provide high shock
resistance up to 100 g. Still a drop on a hard
surface can generate a shock of several 100 g,
which can lead to de-adjustment of contacts.
Switches having been dropped should
be re-tested for sensitivity before usage!

D o ’s a n d D o n ’ t s w h e n c u t t i n g a n d Cutting
bending Reed Switches
Incorrect bending or cutting of terminals may shock shock
lead to cracks in the sealing area due to heavy
mechanical stress. To avoid this problem the
remaining part of terminal between glass body
and point of bending resp. cutting, should
be gripped tightly.
