Reed switch 2*14mm

The Reed Switch 2*14mm is a small, magnetically operated electrical switch used in various applications for detecting magnetic fields or proximity. Encased in a 2mm diameter and 14mm long glass capsule, it consists of two ferrous metal reeds that close or open when exposed to a magnetic field. This compact and reliable switch is widely used in sensing and control circuits, security systems, and automation projects.

Key Features:

• Magnetically operated switch
• Compact size: 2mm diameter, 14mm length
• Normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) configurations
• Durable glass encapsulation for protection
• Reliable and long-lasting performance
• Low power consumption

Technical Specifications:

• Switch Type: Reed switch
• Configuration: Normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC)
• Dimensions: 2mm diameter x 14mm length
• Operating Voltage: Up to 100V DC
• Switching Current: Up to 500mA
• Contact Rating: Typically 10W
• Sensitivity: Activation by a magnetic field (specific sensitivity varies by model)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +125°C

Applications:

• Proximity sensing in security systems (e.g., door/window sensors)
• Position and limit sensing in industrial automation
• Magnetic sensing in consumer electronics
• Control and sensing circuits in home automation
• Automotive applications for detecting positions of components

Usage:

1. Determine the type of reed switch needed (NO or NC) based on the application.
2. Install the reed switch in the desired location, ensuring it is aligned with the magnetic field source.
3. Connect the switch leads to your circuit, ensuring correct polarity and electrical specifications.
4. Test the switch by bringing a magnet close to it and observe the switching action (closing or opening of contacts).

Caution:

• Handle the glass encapsulated switch carefully to avoid breakage.
• Ensure proper alignment with the magnetic field source for accurate operation.
• Avoid exposure to excessive voltages or currents to prevent damage.
