Black Flange Sensor

Reed switches actuated by magnets are commonly used in mechanical systems as proximity sensors. Examples are door and window sensors in burglar alarm systems and tamperproofing methods.

They are popularly used to detect whether a washing machine, refrigerator, or photocopier door is open or closed, Electromagnetic relays, weighing devices level meters etc. You can use it with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PIC etc microcontrollers in your DIY electronic projects for above mentioned applications. It does not provide any analog output, only digital output indicating the precense of a magnet. It is a cheap and small sensor to be integrated in your circuit.

We have similar reed switches in different sizes and output types.

Features and Specifications:-

• Small, cheap and reliable.
• Digital output
• Easy to integrate
• Operating voltage 3.3 to 5V
• Max Current: 20mA. Connecting high power loads directly to the sensor will damage it. Use a relay in between the sensor and the high power load
