Reed Sensors

Many industrial processes and security systems rely on reed sensors, which are electromechanical reed switches that open and close circuits based on signals from magnet-activated speed and position sensors. Examples include robotic arms that engage when items are detected on production lines, linear actuators for the production lines, and alarms that sound when a door or window opens. Littelfuse makes a broad array of these reed sensors that come in bare glass or overmolded packages and mount on the surface of printed circuit boards.
  • Switching power ratings of 5 W or 10 W
  • Switching voltage ratings from 170 V dc to 300 V dc
  • Switching current ratings from 250 mA to 500 mA
  • Broad range of sensitivity (AT) ratings
  • RoHS compliant
  • Miniature designs
  • Hermetically sealed packages provide no-contact switching solution for wet and harsh environments
  • Can operate through nonferrous materials such as plastic and aluminum
