Minimum movement of magnet over switch center provides smallest possible switching differential. 2 OFF Y HOLD Magnet parallel to longitudinal axis of switch: Approaching magnet vertically to switch on Y-axis provides one operation only. Driving magnet over full length of switch (X-axis) may result in up to three operations. Minimum movement of magnet over switch center provides smallest possible switching differential. ON Y HOLD OFF X ON X Reference Point Reference Point 3 Switch operation by rotation of magnet. This gives two operations per complete rotation. 4 Operation of switch by shielding. This method requires a permanently opposite location of magnet and switch. The switch is held closed continuously and will release only if magnet flux is removed by means of ferro-magnetic shield. Reference Point OFF ON HOLD ON OFF Ferromagnetic Shielding Magnet OFF HOLD ON Reference Point OFF ON HOLD OFF Check out our interactive Reed Switch here: www.pic-gmbh.com/go 32 pic-gmbh.com HOLD ON Tech Center: Reed Switches Precautions 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! Do’s and Don’ts when cutting and bending Reed Switches Incorrect bending or cutting of terminals may 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. Cutting shock Forces directed away from Reed Switch shock Forces directed toward Reed Switch! Bending Terminal gripped tightly between glass body and point of bending Terminal not gripped Gripped on glass body Terminal not gripped between glass body and point of bending Dimensioning of modified Reed Switches We supply Reed Switches with terminals modified to nearly any requirement. Dimensioning should be made according to the examples below.
