Reed switches and reed sensors find applications in vast areas, from simple position sensing in doors to more complicated ones used in the military and in sophisticated cellular phone radio frequency (RF) switching electronics. Although every application cannot be listed here, the most widely used ones are explained in detail. A mind map of reed switch applications is available here. This whole section is available as one PDF file here.
